MS Manchester Central Library, Griffith 39

Madam1,
I am not aware whether Mr Mozley acknowledged the receipt of your friend’s kind subscription towards the peal of bells at Auckland, New Zealand, and I therefore gladly express my thanks for the kindness The letter printed in the Monthly Packet was from Mrs Selwyn herself, and it is the very earnest wish of her friends in England to be able to send out to her that of which she has so well expressed the need.

May I say that the odd pence of the sum are a great gratification for it is by small efforts that we must hope to succeed

I remain
yours much obliged
C M Yonge
