My dear Miss Dampier
Do you think you and your sister could manage to come and spend an evening here while Gertrude Walter is staying with me? I do not ask you to dinner because she cannot go down to it and would have much more pleasure if you would drink tea with us – any evening except Saturday the 22nd or Monday or Tuesday the 24th and 25th would suit us, if you will choose your own day

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge

I think we should drink tea at seven

1Jane Mary Dampier (1836/7-1906) and her sister Emily Dampier (b.1838/9) were living at this date at Twyford House, Twyford.
