Dear Mr Woollcombe
I am just come home from Devon. I will send your letter to Macmillan, I think he will consider that admission to a school will make it quite worth while to cheapen it. I will ask one of the partners to write direct to you. I hope your brother Robert has improved since I left Torquay, on Saturday, but the weather, keeping him indoors, is much against him

yours sincerely
C M Yonge

2William John Woollcombe (1832-1921) was married to CMY’s first cousin Anne Catharina Pode (d. 1913) and was brother to Major Robert Woollcombe, the husband of Mary Walter. However, there were seven brothers, and this letter could equally well be to the Rev. George Ley Woollcombe (1828-1902), Edward Woollcombe (1842-1914) or Richard Woollcombe (1847-1936).
