My dear Miss Thackeray
Did you have a silver gilt button for fastening a glove the day you were here? We found one the next morning but as we had some visitors after you. We waited to ask them, and one of them was gone away, and could not be applied to.

I conclude you are still in your old home, and shall therefore address to you there.

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge

I have actually spoilt an envelope by directing to you at Old Kensington!1
