To an Unknown Woman
Elderfield, Otterbourne, Winchester.
June 23d [1864?]

MS Columbia University Library, New York: Samuels, J.H. Collection

My dear Madam,
I send herewith a copy of Heartsease leaves, but I am afraid I must ask you to return it. I had some copies once sold for a bazaar, but they are all gone now, except one or two for home consumption of which I send one.

I am glad that the Christian names gave you any amusement

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
