MS Charlotte Mary Yonge Society/ 1 1

My dear Miss Mildmay

I am much obliged for your Essex dialect, which I will put in when I can.2 I am much afraid such things will soon only be fossils, and that we shall only hear new fashioned vulgarisms

yours truly
C M Yonge

1With envelope addressed to ‘Miss E St John Mildmay/ The Rectory/ Chelmsford' and postmarked '28 February 1877’.
2This was probably a contribution to MP, but has not been identified.
