Dear Miss Yonge,

New Eng. Dictionary

Mr. Fitzedward Hall has given me a reference for Clidders to Heir of Redclyffe ch. vii., which we cannot find. Would it be possible for you to send me the quotation & with the proper reference? Literary quotations for the word are not very easily got.

We know your hand well in the earlier Dictionary material, though it has not been my fortune to see it often in later times.

Yours very truly, [[person:1074]J.A.H. ... continue reading

Dear Sir

I send the quotation with another still more to the purpose- but I should not put in two ds- as certainly Hampshire always calls the plant cli-ders. However no doubt there is authority.

I was sorry to drop the dictionary work but occupations thickened on me so that I could not keep it up

Yours truly C M Yonge
