MS Mrs Clare Roels1
My dear Christabel
You must take care about the law of the thing for if Alvar has been subpoenad as a witness Cherry’s appearing would not save him from a terrible scrape.1 It could be only at the examination before a magistrate at first. The Spanish indifference to doing good to one’s neighbour might come out well I wonder whether he ever could come to be good for much I should like to give hopes of the place descending to Jack.
I like Miss Bramstons Snowball Society most particularly it is a capital story (What a malicious blot) Decr 1st is the day of examining for our pupil teachers and senior scholars and everybody is vigorous.
yours affectionately
C M Yonge
