From the Reverend John Coleridge Patteson to Charlotte Mary Yonge
[19 ?October or November 1861]

MS location unknown. Printed in Yonge, Life of John Coleridge Patteson I, 550

How can I grieve and sorrow about my dear dear Father’s blessed end? . . . I shall like the photograph of Hursley Vicarage and Church, the lawn and group upon it.1 But most shall I like to think that Mr. Keble, and I dare say Dr. Moberly too, pray for me and this Mission. I need the prayers of all good people indeed.

1CMY introduces the letter by saying it 'contained thanks for a photograph of Hursley Church spire and Vicarage, which had been taken one summer afternoon, at the desire of Dr. Moberly (the present Bishop of Salisbury), and of which I had begged a copy for him'. The photograph is probably that reproduced in Dulce Domum facing page 184. It shows Moberly and Keble standing, with CMY and Charlotte Keble seated, in the garden of Hursley Vicarage.
