To Miss Birley
London
Aug 2nd [1864]

MS Charlotte Mitchell/9

Miss Yonge is much obliged to Miss Birley for her kindness in sending her the translation of Salverte’s book on names, for which she had much wished. She regrets that her absence from home has prevented her from seeing the book or acknowledging its receipt before, but if Miss Birley will kindly send the second volume by post, it will be taken care of till Miss Yonge’s arrival at home, when she will have much pleasure in reading the books, and she hopes in making them known.1

    Could this footnote from earlier annotations be put back into the document?
