Dear Miss Erskine,
Many thanks for so kindly enquiring to satisfy the Salisbury correspondent. I will wait till this day week to answer him; in case you should have more particulars for me, I wonder whether he wants to make any use of the story, which should I am sure be widely known, I have no longer the address of Miss Blanch Shelley who sent it to me, and with whom it was a tradition from an aunt. I should think she knew no more, as she gave no names when I wrote to her for corroboration before inserting it, and she only knew half the story. I am glad to hear such good accounts of Mrs and Miss Dyson, I hoped to have seen them again this summer, but it seems as if it would not be till they go to Testwood.1 Mary Coleridge seemed fairly well, and very animated and bright when I spent an evening with her when she was in London
Yours very truly
C M Yonge
