My dear Mr Moor

Thank you very much. There is one thing more that I want, when you come to the Confirmation, & that is the last SPG report. Subscribing through my friend here, I don’t get it direct

I have made a beginning but I go from home for nearly a week after the Confirmation I do not know what to do about the Chandlers Ford children. There really are not many – & when a child has everything right it would be hard to refuse it a trumpery little reward because it was not of the parish. Indeed I suspect coming to Otterbourne is sometimes made an excuse for not coming at all, it is much the way with borderers. One or two families came before there was a school and have kept on

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
