My dear Mr Moor
I think it will be much better to throw the prizes open to the whole schools [sic]; it is so discouraging and troublesome to be put out of the competition, and everyone has not a garden who has children at school
My mother says she meant her prizes instead of the home prize – of course they would chiefly concern the first – not the second – if all the extraparochial people are necessarily in the 3d class, she would extend it to them.
I suppose it will not wait till we see you
Yours sincerely
