To Christabel Rose Coleridge
Elderfield, Otterbourne, Winchester.
June 6th [1872?]

MS Mrs Clare Roels

My dear Christabel

I think if you told Warne that you had had an offer from Smith and Elder he would be sure to take your story. The stupid man has just refused Florence Wilford’s dominie and ought to be scarified.1 I shall have Joanna and Fanny Patteson with me on the 20th, and it is also the time of one of the lectures, so it will depend on a good many things whether I shall have the pleasant sight of you.

your affectionate
C M Yonge

1Florence Wilford, Dominie Freylinghausen (London, Mozley 1875). It ran as a serial in MP ns 13 (January-June 1872).
