To Anne Elizabeth Mary Anderson Morshead
Elderfield

MS Miss Barbara Dennis/41

My dear Mary

I am very glad you have this respite, it is so much better for you all. And you must be glad of time to put things in order, and see about Sister Sarah.2 I send the answer to the Febry question as no doubt you meant to keep them all together.3 I have put in your apology and I cant put in the Jany class list now- as the printers must be early this month they tell me, and they were kept waiting by a mistake last time I am just in from the Inspection, two days of it! Mr Brock’s father is so ill that there is much fear of his being called away in Holy Week or before it.

I have a whole curious account of the skirmish on Clifton Moor, in the ’45 sent me which I would send you if you were likely to have time for it or mind

your affectionate
C M Yonge
