My dear Miss Smith

Many thanks for Delicia, who is very pretty, and I shall be very glad of her when I can put her in.

I envy the spirit of the people who finished their Whitsuntide decorations before the early service. I am thankful enough to get them all done on Saturday

yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Miss Smith

I am terribly bound up with present matters of necessity but I will hunt up Delicia and see what I can do with her, though I know May, June & July are pretty full But I will put her in type, and then she will be sure of getting in soon (after Magazine calculation of soon)

yours sincerely C M Yonge
