MS Mrs Clare Roels/91

My dear C C
I shall be very glad to see you on the 16th and I hope you come back again with the news of the meeting as I am told you can stay on with me a little while longer. I hope you will sharpend up my wits a little about my missionary lad, who I mean to have the divine afflatus but I am almost afraid the history of his home preventions will almost stifle the mission work.

We have had a man killed by falling in of[f] the chalk at the water works.

Good luck to your lectures, I suppose you have seen that they have found out who Sir Thomas Mallory was, a Lancastrian in prison. It was in the Spectator.

Cronje’s men are making a fine figure for history and sympathy

your affte
C M Yonge
