My dear Miss Smith
I did not ask you for the purpose as you may see by my having lost your address and being obliged to send this to Cambridge to be directed on.2
I thought it a pity you should not at least hear of it, and at any rate the child is not black!
If you think of it will you write direct to the lady.3 I am going out and must finish as fast as I can
yours truly
C M Yonge
