MS Huntington Library: Yonge Letters

My dear Madam,
The wreaths for these autumn months have been so much smaller that I am sorry to say that there is only 7/6 to send you for this quarter, and here are P.O. stamps to that amount. I have not yet heard what we shall be able to do next year. I think that ‘the Lesser Holydays’ is the name that best approves itself to me, what do you think of it. I know the poem of Mary Howitt’s you mention, but we have it not in the house nor do I know where I read it. If ever I come on it I will send it to you.

With many thanks for your Garland, which has been one of the choicest possessions of this years Packet

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
