MS Bodleian Library, Oxford: Ms. Eng. lett. e.116 ff 172-3.1

My dear Miss Palmer
I enclose the order. I wrote Hants after Sep upon the paper, so I hope they made it out to the right one It will be a great pleasure to me to come to Blackmoor [erasure] Thank Lady Selborne for her kind invitation.2

What would suit me best would be to come when I leave Crookham, on the 3d or 4th of September, as then I could take the train at Alton and go home from you instead of back to Crookham Would this be convenient to Lady Selborne?

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
