Dear Madam
I feel for your disappointment, and I like the feeling in your story but I cannot help you as my connection with the Monthly Packet was dissolved two years ago.1 I think your story is one that 20 or 30 years ago would have been liked, but taste has drifted into other directions not always so wholesome and that is probably the reason of the rejection

Yours truly
C M Yonge

Your chance for Gonsalvo would be with distinctively Church papers
