My dear Miss Smith

Many thanks for Delicia, who is very pretty, and I shall be very glad of her when I can put her in.2

I envy the spirit of the people who finished their Whitsuntide decorations before the early service. I am thankful enough to get them all done on Saturday

yours sincerely
C M Yonge
