MS Huntington Library: Letters to Frederick James Furnivall. FU 9741

Dear Mr Furnivall,
Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with ‘Twelve words &c-‘ 2 What a wonderful store you have there!

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge

Our Otterbourn is in Domesday, but I don’t know how spelt[.] Ottery St Mary always appears in early times as Shotrey
