MS West Sussex County Record Office/ Add. 16,944/7
Dear Miss Walker
Thank you for writing to tell me of the fate of the letters, I am afraid such has often befallen the like when they descend to a generation too young to care for them and not wishing for the encumbrance. I have a screen worked in that way by my mother, but I think almost all my other possessions of the kind have worn out.
Mr Hobart Hampden has his eldest sister Sarah staying with him, and I hope she will make her home with him, as the father died in the winter and the other two sisters are in India1
yours sincerely
C M Yonge
