Dear Miss Manning

Miss Walter and I have much enjoyed reading Miss Lawrences’ letter all the more as last Sunday evening Mr Du Boulay kindly came and talked to the parish about Madagascar.1

If you will let me know in time, I will send you the Daisy Chain, Trial and Pillars of the Houseto send to her.  I am very glad to have the pleasure of doing so

with many thanks

yours truly

C M Yonge

1James du Boulay was a schoolmaster at Winchester College; he was married to a sister of the Bishop of Madagascar. The book dealer who sold the letter read it as 'Mrs du Boulay', but it looks to me like Mr. Either is possible.
