78. To Anne Yonge ?MS envelope West Devon Record Office Acc No 308 Envelope postmarked Winchester 26 March 1853 and Plympton 27 March 1853, endorsed ‘Coleridge’ with writing inside the flap ‘Your letter is come, many thanks, We went to see about the ?cousingas [another inserted illegible word] the woman was out but is to call. The Herb is soon to be begun’ [perhaps referring to the publication of The Herb of the Field (1853)] 79. To Elizabeth RobertsMS Huntington Library: Yonge Letters Otterbourn Whitsuneve [14 May 1853] My dear Madam I have no time for more than to enclose the June Holidays and thank you for the last received, I don’t think we Hampshire folks are good at traditions we have none of St Swithin but such as are common to all the world. There is a curious little old Church dedicated to him, over a gate way. I believe, in spite of this rain, he is buried at the back of the Altar in the Cathedral in a place called by the Vergers the Holy Hole. Here we dread a wet St Swithin, but in Gloucestershire they desire it and call it the Christening of the Apples1 Yours sincerely C M Yonge 80. The Reverend John Keble to Charlotte Mary YongeMS location unknown. Printed in Musings over the Christian Year, xxvii. H.V., 7 June, 1853. My dear Child, I hope I have not embarrassed you by keeping these slips till now. I a little doubt about the bits of Greek you put in, and I certainly should advise more to be said about Pentecost. There was a Church in a kind of sense, but according to my understanding there was no Church in the proper sense until then – vid. S. John vii, 39, &c., and the many places in which the Church is said to go out from Zion. Do you not think there is some danger of your crowding too much matter into these brief dialogues, I mean danger of their being less interesting and useful than they might be . . . . Yours affte, J. K.
July 9th [1853] My dear Madam, I enclose the Lesser Holidays, in which I have made one alteration namely the omission of the Augustinian order as having been founded by St Augustine. He seems to have framed a rule of some kind, but it was not till the 9th century (according to Mrs Jameson) that the monastic persons not belonging to the rule of St Benedict were classed under this name, and his rule merely seems to have been direction, not a regular monastic order. I have been much engaged lately in different ways, expeditions to the Camp &c, but I have enjoyed few things more than a village meeting for the Propagation of the Gospel in Hursley School, where the only speakers were Mr Keble and the Bishops of Cape town and Oxford, the first giving a simple account of his diocese, the second driving home the application to everyone’s heart, his finished eloquence made perfectly simple and easy for his roundfrock audience.1 The most striking thing I heard was the story of a widow who had not seen a clergyman for 38 years but had made her Bible and Prayer book her daily study, became a communicant as soon as the opportunity was given her, and began saving instantly for a church. £20 was her contribution from her own earnings. I have no time, or I should like to tell you more Yours sincerely C M Yonge
The Times was quite right, Lucien was at the camp,1 though I cannot remember him. Montebello told Lord Seaton that he is very sorry to see our troops in such excellent order. The Queen looked in great good-humour, and was determined to see the men have their dinner. She came to Virginia Water with Prince Albert, who was sneezing and looking as if he had the measles. Lord and Lady Seaton are at the Palace again to-night.2 They have a great luncheon in marquees to-morrow. So much for camp news. . . .We have had a famous party from Fieldhouse; you should have seen Robert, Johnnie, Emily3, and Rover all at tea at the little round table. I wish you could have been at Hursley yesterday. We had a nice sight of the Bishop and Mrs. Gray4 in the Vicarage after service, and Mrs. Gray brought down some beautiful drawings of the Table Mountain . . . 83. To Elizabeth RobertsMS Huntington Library: Yonge Letters Otterbourn Novr 29th [1853] My dear Madam, I enclose your P O order for 11/6 for the last quarter of the Lesser holidays. Mr Mozley promises this next year 1854 to raise his pay to 1/6 per page, so that I hope the Cathedrals will be a little less unworthily paid when you have time and inclination to make them out. Your present of the Garland must be indeed a most precious one, I wish we were not so entirely on the opposite ends of England that there seems no conveyance but the post, for I should much like to see it. I have been asked several times if there was any hope of its being published separately, and I should think it would meet with many purchasers, who would be very glad of it. As to the question of publisher, I think if I was you I should fix my own price for permission to print such or such a number and give a certain time to sell them in, and then if Mozley did not accept your terms you would be free to look elsewhere. His family is very clever, but I never quite think they appreciate botany, so that I am not quite sure what he would say in this case. When he brought out my little Herb of the Field which had been published in the Magazine for the Young he was afraid of illustrations, though I thought them much wanted. However, having them ready drawn would make a difference and I am sure the book might be a very pretty one, especially if you added the emblems of the Saints perhaps as tail pieces, there is a tolerable list of them in Lord Lindsay’s Christian Art,5 and another in a little paper of the Ecclesiological Society, and really it is most useful to have some key to such figures as one sees in Henry VII’s Chapel or in Worcester Cathedral.
