Dear Mr Owen
Your pretty present arrived quite safely this morning, and I am greatly obliged to you for the kindness of the thought in bringing me a memorial from a part of the world where my imagination at one time tarried so long. The bracelets will be great friends of mine for many reasons, among which their smooth touch and pretty grain may well be reckoned.

My brother is as usual in the depths of Norway, and was last heard of with Colonel Blois near Stavanger, enjoying large salmon and long daylight.

With my mother’s kind regards, and my best thanks

Yours truly
C M Yonge
