To Horatia Sophia Elder
Feb 16th [1867?]

MS UCLA: collection 100: box 95

My dear Mrs Elder,

In some inexplicable way your sonnet for the collect for the Annunciation has disappeared. Could you—if you have a copy—be so kind as to send it by the next post—direct to

Messrs. Mozley
Friar’s Gate
Derby,

as they are leaving a gap for it. How it was missed between us I cannot guess. I have all the others, quite safe up to June 29th. I hope you will excuse the blunder, and that it will not cost you much trouble.

Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
