To the Reverend John Frewen Moor
Elderfield, Otterbourne, Winchester.
Novr 23d [1864]

MS Bodleian Library, Oxford: MS English Letters: e 86.

My dear Mr Moor
Time vanished away suddenly from me yesterday, or I should not have missed thanking you for the division of the Income, which will be an excellent standard for the unpractical young ladies, some of whom I fear have been answering the question but I shall get theirs on the 25th1

Mamma has been comparing your scale with our own, and finding we exactly agree in coals & wages and not at all in bread and meat –

Thank you much for the lock of the door, we have made some progress in finishing but are not quite in order yet

Yours very truly
C M Yonge

1One of the arithmetic questions over which they were cooperating. See letters to Moor dated June and 10 October 1864. The reference to 'young ladies' makes it sound as if it was aimed at the Gosling Society.
