MS Charlotte Mary Yonge Society/7

My dear Mrs Elgie

Many thanks for this dear little note. I always did think your Girls most thoroughly good and conscientious, and I think their love of home is the best and happiest thing for the place and people. I wonder when those lawyers will finish off and let you take possession.1 I hope it is all right about Helena Dugay

your affectionate
C M Yonge

1Perhaps of the new incumbency of Otterbourne, so that the Rev. Walter Elgie became Vicar rather than curate.
