Dear Mrs Holbeach2
I am much obliged for your book which I should have acknowledged sooner but I was just going from home

I chiefly took the account of the battle of Wakefield from Sir James Ramsays’ history, and as it was a hired book I cannot see whether any bit of old spelling of his could have misled me. I am afraid it is too late to get it altered in the second edition3

Yours truly
C M Yonge

1With envelope addressed to ‘Mrs Holbeach/ Farnborough Hall/ Banbury’.
2Mary Caroline (Walrond) Holbeach (1854-1933), wife of Walter Henry Holbeach (1846-1901) of Farnborough Hall.
3This seems most likely to be a reference to Grisly Grisell.
