MS Miss Barbara Dennis/3

Dear Miss Johnstone

I send you a cheque which has come to me this morning. The sender of it – Miss Sturges Bourne suggests that if you embark from Southampton, Edwin Jones, High Street, would make up a parcel to your order of ready made things to meet you but I dare say you have plenty of the kind of shop to supply you. I am going to send one of your papers to a young linen draper for poor people’s things in Spitalfields who very likely may be able to send you some of his old stock of woollens of last year. I am afraid I have only some unmade cloth to send which remained over from last Christmas & which will probably be sent off on Monday1

I am sure if any of my books have any share in refreshing you under the toils of such a blessed work it is a great honor [sic] for them

yours sincerely
C M Yonge
