To an unknown person
[1865]

MS fragment Charlotte Mitchell/13

. . . Barnacle article rather in the style of the Spring of the poets, and we wanted you to laugh with us. I think you know the Gattys, so I conclude you do not want an autograph from that quarter.

I am glad Dr Harris was able to go to George’s wedding, but I shall be glad to hear that he is safe back again1 Poor Hursley has been very forlorn all the winter but its squire came back last week, and its Vicar comes on the 10th

yours sincerely
C M Yonge

1The Rev. Joseph Hemington Harris (1799/1800-1881), Vicar of Tor Mohun, Torquay, was married to Jane Yonge, sister of the Rev. John Yonge of Puslinch. His son the Rev. George Collyer Harris (1833-1874) married Percy Primrose in London in 1865 (June 1865).
