My dear Florence
You have a birthday so seldom that one recollects it, so pray accept my best wishes and this tiny book.1 I am afraid there is a little black speck on its cover, but do not look to reject it on that account I hope you received the second volume of Thrupp on the Psalms. I do not like all of him, though I have learnt a great deal from him, he does not tread in the beaten lines.
I hope this warmer weather is refreshing you, it has brought up a great crowd of snow drops, and some primroses, but the Lent Lilies lag behind Lent.
With love to your sister, and kind regards to the General
Yours affectionately
C M Yonge
