My dear Miss Smith,

I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere!2 I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.

Will you kindly when you have looked it over return it addressed

Miss Jacob
Crawley Rectory
Winchester

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge

1Black-edged paper.
2The 'incurable list' was evidently a list of candidates for admission to an asylum; perhaps either the Home for Incurable and Infirm Women or the Royal Hospital for Incurables.
