MS Huntington Library: Yonge Letters

My dear Madam,
Thank you for writing to notify me of your change of place. I did send some proofs to you at Helmington Hall2 on Friday, I dare say you have received them by this time, but I thought it better to send you notice in case you had not had them.

I have never been in the beautiful parts of Derbyshire, but I have heard enough of them to be sure that you must be enjoying your tour extremely

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge

1Small envelope, with stamped circle enclosing flowering plant on flap, addressed Miss E P Roberts/ Walker’s Hotel/ Matlock Bath/ Derbyshire.
2Helmington Hall, Durham, was the seat of Henry Spencer (b. 1820/1) and his wife Jane Hamilla Hamilton (1825/6-1907), who had married in 1843. It is not clear whether they were friends or employers of Roberts.
