My dear Gertrude

Thank you for your letter, which I found here when I arrived yesterday, by way of Salisbury and Basingstoke. I meant all those flowers of which there was but one specimen for you, Helen may wait to collect for herself

Your most affectionate

C M Yonge

1Dated on the assumption that it was written when Helen Yonge was a small child beginning a collection of pressed flowers.
