To Elizabeth Missing Sewell
Elderfield, Otterbourne, Winchester.
Sept 13th 1877

MS UCLA: collection 100: box 951

My dear Miss [Sewell]2

Many thanks for your Revolution which looks very entertaining, though I have not thoroughly encountered its curling propensities and as you may suppose, I trust you! I shall be glad to have your further papers in the next year. They always tell.

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge

1Black-edged paper.
2The name has been obliterated, but Elizabeth Sewell's two papers on the 'Causes of the French Revolution' were published in MP ns 24 (November 1877) 403-414, and (December 1877) 519-30. She had evidently joked that if CMY did not want them she could use them to curl her hair.
