To the Reverend John Frewen Moor
Elderfield, Otterbourne, Winchester.
Oct 26th 1868

MS UCLA: collection 100: box 951

My dear Mr Moor,
We are so very much concerned to hear of Mrs Moor’s illness, of which we were not at all aware till Saturday.

I would not trouble you now, but that I should be so very glad if you found it convenient to trust us with Selina and Philip.2 Mr Wither (who is obliged to go to Winchester today) desires me to say he would be very glad to have them and their maid to sleep at his house and we would look after them by day, with really great pleasure—and I hope we could make them happy. If you can send them over tomorrow we should be quite ready for them.

If it were not convenient to send their maid, the nurse we had here, who is a very nice bright person and is lodging in the village could take care of them.

Yours sincerely,
C. M Yonge
