My dear Edmund,
Here is an entreaty I have had from Mary. I can’t worry the old Warden, and I don’t know what niece is with him.2 I don’t think there is much to see extra at New College, but would you send her a note to make it possible. I think one sees the Hall naturally, and there was not much in the Library to see, but I suppose William of Wykeham’s staff is only shewn by special favour

Your affec
C M Yonge

1The Rev. Edwards Sewell, Warden of New College, Oxford, lived with his sister Janetta until the latter’s death in July 1890.
2CMY's correspondent, probably Mary Anderson Morshead, evidently solicits entry to New College, Oxford, and its archives. As a former fellow of New College and a schoolmaster at Winchester, Morshead would have had the necessary connections.
