MS Mrs Caroline Fairclough/2

My dear Miss Butler
Thank you for your message. I do not think Rudolf requires to return to you for he stands so much alone that he only needs to be taken out.1

Thanks too for the derivations, I shall trouble you with plenty more, I have no doubt, when I am at home with my list, and see my way out of the Latin derived names.2 I am to go home this afternoon after a very happy visit here. Elizabeth Barnett is writing on the opposite side of the table, I wish I was going to take her back with me. My mother is reading your philosophe with great delight

yours sincerely
C M Yonge

2CMY had asked Butler's help with Scandinavian names for the series of articles in MP called 'Name-Fancying' which later became A History of Christian Names.
