Dear Mrs White I cannot remember Miss Evelyn Gee’s present address, so would you be so kind as to forward this note to her containing a request from some one in Sloane Street to print her Eagle Story, which certainly has been a great favourite

Yours truly C M Yonge

My dear Mr Warden, I find I cannot well leave home till the 3.30 train on Wednesday, so I hope to be at Oxford at 6.45. I hope this is not so late as to put out your dinner hour as I think it often is at 7.30. I am very glad to hear that Mr Wither will be there

Yours very sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Gertrude I hope your chapter will be of a length that will fit happily into July. I will do my best for its coming in. Here is your Twilight which please look over, and it will get in when there is room. I do not think I am likely to come to London I have had two outings - to Chichester in Easter week and last week to the laying the ... continue reading

My dear Miss Medhurst I did hope to have put in this sonnet of yours in time for Ascension day, but I could not manage it, so I can only send you the proof and thank you for your kindness to Emmeline Spratt, who after her visit to you wrote the happiest letter she had written at all since leaving home

Yours sincerely C M Yonge

Dear Mr Freeman Having recently had a fresh look at Fridiswid’s window, I wish to explain that I find the green headed duck is not engaged in a miracle, but is merely an adjunct when she was hiding in the farm yard, and as the stately drake led forth his fleet upon the lake on Loch Lomond, he may be thus employed at home. There is so much worse a window near it that it brings ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan

Thank you much but it is an impossibility, I have to be at Aylesbury on Monday, and at home again on Saturday.

Yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Christabel It is a fine story and I like it. I dare say you never read Rosanne, a very old book of the beginning of the century, where there is the same idea, a girl brought up by an infidel father with her mind a blank, and then struggling towards the light, and assimilating every shred. Her first prayer is very beautiful but I think your unprayed prayer is more ... continue reading

My dear Mr Moor Mr Wither gives £7 a year and finds everything. What he wants is a girl who has been out before so as to have had her first teaching, and is well to be depended on not to be saucy or lazy with his old housekeeper, who is good natured, and will get up and do things herself instead of making the girl do them. The place is kitchen maid, as Sophy is ... continue reading

My dear Mr Moor Will you write your list, and put it into this envelope, with anyone else’s who may want roots - Nobody else here will have any this year - Will you also add the no in Great Winchester St, I stupidly forgot to look at it before packing up the list - I am going to Hardwicke on Tuesday

Yours sincerely C M Yonge

It is coming, but there were so many that we are obliged to send them to the post by instalments C M Yonge

My dear Gertrude Thanks for your chapters. If anything strikes me, I will tell you, but I like all I have read very much. I think Miss Peard does know Arcachon, so I am desiring her to write to you, but I do not believe that Miss Roberts has ever been on that side of France. She /MR is at the Crescent Hotel, Filey, sadly laid up by a strain of the hip, which ... continue reading

Dear Miss Medhurst, Thanks for your poem. You will probably be here on Saturday in time for am [sic] morning service, which is at ten o’clock.

Yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Miss Poole I suspected that you would have to change to Monday. I wonder if the enclosed will make any further change. We shall be very glad to have you here on Sunday, and the carriage with Miss Mackenzie in it will meet you at Bpstoke at the same time.

I suppose - as you do not say so - Miss Dyson has heard no more from Heaths Court

yours affectionately C M Yonge

Dear Madam I am much obliged for your enclosure which is valuable and interesting, and shews how it was that only a year later Mr Keble was able to gain the scholarship at Corpus

with many thanks yours very truly C M Yonge

My dear Mrs Coleridge Alas, I have had so much Tyrol in the Monthly Packet as I am writing to tell Mrs Prichard I find no series of travels ever answers, people do not keep up their interest - though single papers succeed well.

I hope Bishop Patteson’s life will be out in a few week’s time. How soon do you return to Mapledurham for I should like my ‘Cousin Edward’ as he insists on my ... continue reading

My dear Miss Yonge, I have to thank you for your kindness in presenting me with a copy of your Life of Bishop Patteson which I assure you I regard as no ordinary favour; - with a still deeper feeling, however, for the book itself is a lasting benefit to the Christian world and I trust to the Heathendom yet to be reclaimed. He being dead still speaketh. Such an example will do ... continue reading

My dear Mr Archdeacon At last I return all the precious letters you lent me. I ought to have done so sooner

I have not been able to use many as they went so much on the same ground as the journal letters.

With many thanks Yours sincerely C M Yonge

Dear Madam I am much obliged in the name of the Melanesian Mission for your subscription, but I am afraid I must ask you to exchange it for one on Winchester as there is no money order office here and they will not cash it at Winchester

Yours truly Charlotte Yonge

My dear Miss Weber

It is a beautiful story, and I shall be very glad to have it for next year -i.e. Jany 1875

Yours truly C M Yonge
