My dear Miss Wilcox,
I hope your mother is improving in spite of the cold winds and that you are beginning to think of turning your face to the South, now that Easter is so near. It will be a great pleasure to see you, and I hope you will soon be able to mention a day.

Do tell me if you know the answer to Mr Dodgson’s Acrostic in Phantasmagoria2 I am sure that the second shadow is Commemoration but nobody can make out the first

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
