MS Mrs Clare Roels/97
My dear C C
I am glad of the 26th but I thought GFS stuck to the 24th & 29th. However it is all the better for me and the roses will be in their glory. The snow balls and may will be gone but no doubt you have them where you are. I wonder if Fanny Patteson will turn up any time. I throught she had, when Edith announced Miss Patteson but it turned out a mere lion hunter who must have been amazed at my effusive greeting .
Helen’s cat turned on her 6 weeks old kitten, killed it and mangled it – then on another kit, not her own, which was saved- As a woman here said about a cow ‘If she had been one of us, she would be in a lunatic asylum’ instead of which she was destroyed. She had never been right since the kitten was born
I am winding up my Missionary. Unluckily I sent him to the place where all these dreadful things are happening 3 clergymen killed and no one knows how many Chinese Christians-1
your affectionate
C M Yonge
