MS Mrs Katherine Wykes-Sneyd

My dear Henrietta

Many thanks to you both for your answers to the Scripture questions, – you see they are beginning to come into the Monthly Paper if you take it in

I hope Glow Worm’s cold is mending.  Her Gay Geese were quite new to the collections.  I have sent all the Goose answers, though I think Gurgoyle’s must stand as the best.  I think you will be delighted with the Barnacle it is a very grand one this time.1

I am glad you have answered the Palm Sunday question.  I was afraid no one would.  Some unknown person sent me two nice answers for the two Christmas

I shall help out one of your Palm Sunday answers with the other for the M Paper.

1CMY refers to the essay contributions to the Gosling Society by Henrietta ('Irene'), her sister Charlotte ('Glow Worm') and Alice Coleridge ('Gurgoyle').
