To Catherine England
Elderfield
April 9th [late 1890s?]

MS Charlotte Mitchell

My dear Mrs England1
A basket of what we can get shall be left at your door about two o’clock on Wednesday.

I have told the children, but we do not live in the same profusion as heretofore Squires have grown so much more particular about trespassing than they used to be in the good old Heathcote days that we are cut off from many of our best copses!2

yours sincerely
C M Yonge

1Dr William England and his son Dr George England both treated CMY; this letter might be to the wife of either; they were both named Catherine.
2Compare To Helen Emma Yonge (27 April 1890): ‘That Mr. Eames who has bought Silkstead is beginning to build a house on the Winchester road, and has put in a keeper at Silkstead who warns people off the white violets on the bank at Green Undys.’
