To Katharine Olive Helmore
Otterbourne, Winchester.
March 18th 1861

MS Charlotte Mitchell/Cobweb-2 1

Most submissive Cobweb,

The only change that I would suggest this time would be that for the word Evangelists you should substitute Gospels – as the Forms to which you refer rather symbolize the characteristics of the Gospels themselves than of their writers The answers will carry you all very deep and high.

The Humble Bee2 will be delighted with Kepler as the stars are her peculiar line. We shall have such beautiful stories of Handel that I much look forward to him, but I wonder if any one will take the new view of Wallace?

your faithful

Mother Goose
