MS Girton College Cambridge, Yonge VI 1
My dear Miss Sewell,
I have meant to write to you for a long time past, but you know how one’s good intentions fail one when one is holiday making. However my holiday comes to an end tomorrow, and I hope to be heartily at work again next week.1 Meantime, I ought to have long ago confessed that it was all a delusion of mine about that Lanfranc article. John Coleridge had meant to write one, and talked it over, and my memory confounded his real article on St Cuthbert and this intention, so as to make up the fancy – I hope it has not given you any trouble or put out your arrangements – The St Anselm came from hence, as I think I made known.2 I am quite ready to go to work when I come home, and will send for any books that may be wanted from the London library – Any time that you can come for another study of the subject, we shall be very glad to see you, and I hope I shall be less stupid than I was last time. I am sure it will not be for want of idleness if I am not.
Yours very sincerely
C M Yonge
