To the Reverend Henry Parry Liddon
New College
June 4th [1869]

MS Keble College, Oxford, Liddon Correspondence 1869 (2:4).1

Dear Mr Liddon
Thank you for your very kind answer. A letter will be an excellent way of conveying your recollections.2 I think considering what Hursley Vicarage was, it would have been perfect treason to have made notes of the daily life and conversation – What seems to me most wanted is something to give an idea of Mr. Keble’s greatness and his championship – and this Sir J Coleridge writing from an equality and without perfect sympathy, has in some degree missed.3

A fortnight or a month’s time will be quite soon enough for me. I shall be at home I hope on the 12th

With many thanks
Yours very truly
C M Yonge
