To the Hon. Laura Elizabeth Palmer
Somerleaze3
Aug 13th 1874

MS Bodleian Library, Oxford: Ms. Eng. lett. e.116 ff 175-6.1

My dear Miss Palmer
The printer has put your name in full upon this proof – but if you do not wish it to appear, you had better scratch it out, though of course the Packet would be glad to have the story owned.3

I am glad it did not come while you were occupied with the wedding bustle, they like to put the Christmas number in hand a long time in advance. I am now at Mr Edward Freeman’s, but to morrow I go to Mr Gibbs’s at Tyntesfield and thence to Heaths Court.

If it will suit Lady Selborne, I should be glad to come to you on Friday the 4th, for a night – it is a day later than I intended, but I have had to squeeze in another visit before coming to Crookham, and I shall not get there till the 27th

yours sincerely
C M Yonge
