To Margaret Gatty
Elderfield, Otterbourne, Winchester.

MS Princeton University, Parrish Collection, CO171: Box 29

My dear Mrs Gatty,
In haste, with all the proofs on my hands, and going out to tea – here are the sonnets1 – I left out the first as being holy day, rather than Sunday, and belonging to next year’s series

Please let them go straight to Mozley’s and I should be glad of more for February.

I hope you are not overwhelmed with M. Macé in his second volume,2 I am sure the work must be hard. You are gathering your Christmas flock, I hope all well

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
