MS John Purvis¹

Dear Miss Matcham
I am afraid I can throw no light upon the question. We had it some time ago, very probably from the same quarter, and I kept it yesterday to shew to the Moberlys who were likely to have had it at the same time to see whether they could remember any answer but none of us could, and we could only come to the satisfactory conclusion that it was one of those provoking delusions now and then sent out to puzzle the world without an author. We tried hard to make it into Tax, but it would not do

yours sincerely
C M Yonge
