To Sir Walter Besant
Elderfield Otterbourne Winchester
Feb 8th [1899?]

MS Princeton University, Parrish Collection

Sir,
I am moved to say something from my own personal knowledge in defence of rustic reading

I do not care whether this is inserted as a letter, but I should like the substance to appear, as I know it to be fact, and I think it is true of many other Hampshire villages1

Yours truly
C M Yonge
