My dear Cousin
Thank you for your note. The character you give dear Coley is I think almost exactly what Bishop Abraham, [in] the papers in St Luke’s Magazine, and his own letters, have been helping me to trace, but I am very glad of your confirmation of it.2 Can you remember anything about his giving a seal to Bishop Selwyn when he came to take leave at Eton before his first going out. It is spoken of in a letter but neither the Selwyns nor Pattesons can recollect anything about it. I am glad you mentioned the copying. It is sometimes referred to in his letters but I had not spoken of it. Any time that it is convenient to you to send the letters I shall be grateful for them, but they will not come into immediate use for a month or six weeks as I have only reached the Oxford period, and I am just now a good deal interrupted. Perhaps I had better write when I am close upon the need for them, and ask for them. I am very anxious to shew how extensive his mind and interests were.
Your affectionate cousin
C M Yonge
