To Oscar Fay Adams
Elderfield Otterbourne Winchester
Decr 15th 1892

MS Harvard University, Houghton Library

Dear Mr Adams
I think such papers as you kindly propose would be very valuable but my colleague, Miss Christabel Coleridge must be consulted, and likewise the publisher Mr Arthur D Innes, 31 Bedford St Strand1

I think as you are in London it might simplify matters if you would call on him, as he would tell you about length of papers and terms and I believe we would find the papers very interesting

Miss Coleridge lives at Cheyne Torquay so is rather out of reach unless you have yet to visit Exeter, Ottery St Mary Church and Truro

yours truly
C M Yonge

1Oscar Fay Adams (1855-1919), American writer, contributed four articles on American subjects to MP in 1893-4. He had first approached CMY when researching his biography of Jane Austen in the Winchester area.
