To an Unknown Woman
Elderfield, Otterbourne, Winchester.
Jany 25th [1869]

MS New York Public Library, De Coursey Fales Collection/41

My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured]2
I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight

yours sincerely
C M Yonge
