Dear Mr Bullock, I will try to write Abp Sancroft, and Bp Mackenzie but have you thought of asking Miss Awdry, Notton, Chippenham. She is the author of ‘An Elder Sister’ and would do Anne Mackenzie’s life excellently. She could also do well Henrietta Robertson, a grand missionary worker.

And have you thought of Mrs Macdougal who sacrificed so much-? Miss Awdry could well do all these. She edited the Gospel Missionary till lately when it ... continue reading

Dear Mr Bullock, Here I send Archbishop Sancroft, hoping he is the right length. Miss Strickland’s Seven Bishops made it rapid work.

Have you thought of Frampton - a non juror, though not in time to be added to the 7. I have a life of him and could write it. I have just had your letter. I do not much incline to Sir R Fanshaw. I had his wife’s book long ago, and lost ... continue reading

Dear Mr Bullock, I send Bp Mackenzie whom I had to do in haste because my book was wanted -

I think I had better take Carnarvon for the leading Cavalier for I can more easily get at his history at present than any other The Memoir of the Verneys I had once from Mudie but I should have long to wait for it again and it is an expensive book, so I will only mention him ... continue reading

Dear Mr Bullock, I send you Bishop Frampton with your list, and many thanks for it, I hope you have the life of Fletcher of Madeley that shews how much braver he was than two soldier brothers. Your Mother may be interested to hear that Heartsease was the last book Lord Raglan read.

Sir Eustace Stewart who lent it to him told me

Yours truly C M Yonge

Dear Mr Bullock, I would have offered to write Fletcher’s Life, but I have hunted all over the house twice over and cannot find the book I once had, but no doubt you can get it from a library

Yours truly C M Yonge

Dear Mr Bullock, I send Fletcher and Lady Falkland with your copy of Fletcher for which I am much obliged. I am afraid his life has turned out much too long as hers is too short. If it has to be cut down the bit about his noble birth could best be spared. His last Communion is wonderfully beautiful

Yours truly C M Yonge

I am returning the copy to Mr Churton

Dear Mr Bullock, I waited to answer till I saw whether an offer of a story I had made was accepted in which case I should have had no time, but I find I have and can manage the two lives[.] I have Hook’s Archbishops, and will make use of your materials gladly. I once had Frances Havergal but gave her away so I shall be glad of the loan

I think Charles Simeon ought to ... continue reading

Dear Mr Bullock, I send you Charles Simeon You see he was entirely taught by the Church and nothing else, so far as his first beginnings of religion were concerned. He disowned being a Calvinist; but I think his mistake was in studying Huguenot sermons. I do not know if you will put the Simeonite preferments into a note. I thought some explanation was needful I daresay you may know one or other of his three ... continue reading

wold is the termination[.] Canon Benham’s Diocesan Chronicle calls him Athelwold

Dear Mr Bullock, I will try to do Raymond Lull in short by the end of next week, I have both the books.

You will be glad to hear that I have had a cheerful letter from Miss Florence Wilford well, and at home with her sister

Yours sincerely C M Yonge
