To Edward Augustus Freeman
June 29th [1870]

MS UCLA: collection 100: box 951

My dear Sir

I am much obliged by your kind present of your little book on Wells Cathedral, which I shall read with much pleasure.2

Here is the number of Macmillan creating further dismay in me by shewing that Scottish scholars at Oxford were not so uncommon as to be dangerou[sly] [text missing at edge] suspicious.3

With many thanks
Yours sincerely
C M Yonge
