To Florence Wilford
Elderfield
Oct 18th 1890

MS University of Iowa; MsL/Y58wi

My dear Florence,
In the first place my Incurable Vote is promised two deep so I am afraid that is of no use.

I could not answer before as I was at the G F S annual Conference – more over my colleague took the M S away to read. She approves of it much, and we hope to put it in among the short stories, when we can.1 The same may be said of Emma’s poem, but I don’t know how to fix any time.2 I have more to do than I can do today and it is almost Church time, so good bye

Your affectionate
C M Yonge

Can you get any Mother’s ladies to order this

1Perhaps the MS was 'Limp Ladies', MP (August 1891), 186-168, which was the next article signed by Wilford to appear in the magazine.
2Her correspondent’s sister Emma Wilford (b. 1832/3). A poem ‘The Treasures of the Snow: Feast of the Purification’, signed ‘W.’ appeared in MP (February 1891). (The feast of the Purification is 2 February.)
