181.To Caroline Elizabeth HeathcoteMS Charles E. Young Research Library, UCLA, collection 100. Otterbourne,Winchester Novr 7th 1857
If you are at leisure this \next/ week will you come and spend a day with us, when we can take a walk in the Cranbury gardens, as the house is still uninhabitable, and I do not think they can come home for a week or so. Any day but Monday will suit us equally well, and we hope you will come before one o’clock. It is so long since I have seen you; and I shall be so glad to hear of Mrs Wilson and the Christening. 2 Yours affectionately C M Yonge Please let us know when you can fix a day 182.To Ann Maria Carter SmithMS Westcountry Studies Library, Exeter/ Yonge 1857/4 Otterbourne, Winchester Novr 23d 1857 My dear Miss Smith Thank you for all your replies, I had been waiting to answer you till I had read aloud to the end, for you must know I began it the day it came when a girl was here whose London experiences are very West End, and as she went away in the midst, much interested, I only glanced on to the end, and kept the rest till she came again. She was decided as to no one having any shame at being seen with her father in a cab, and likewise on the pickled salmon subject. Not very important points certainly, but in such a story as this, I think the keeping and reality great point. I don’t question that Lucy deserves to be called cold blooded, only whether her father would do it. Your tractarian story is very funny. I should have thought people of that calibre fancied that disseminating tracts was the great duty of life, but I suppose she took a narrower range. I am not sure whether the end is not a shade too abrupt - perhaps before unluckily space will come. You may think of something to make the end come off more [the rest missing?] 183.To Ann Maria Carter SmithMS Westcountry Studies Library, Exeter/ Yonge 1857/5 1 Decr 7th 1857 My dear Miss Smith It is very odd to send the money in two orders, but when I sent on Saturday the Post Office or I contrived to make a blunder, and the Order arrived for less than your due, so I am afraid you must have the trouble of signing both of these. £1.19 is for the Royal Household, with many thanks, and I have ventured to add a pound for your district if you will be kind enough so to apply it. I dread to hear that the Mrs Adams in whom you fear a disappointment is the nice woman with the sons whom you call Mrs Thompson in the story. I am inclined to think I had better send you the last chapter, and then you can judge for yourself what to do to lessen the abruptness. I am not sure that if the festival at Greenwich had come last instead of penultimate, it would not have let it down more easily, instead of feeling oneself as boys would say brought up all standing, but I am sure you are the best judge of how to finish your own work as a work of art. I own to thinking the funeral pall and its spangles a very awkward simile, but I believe that is the meaning.1 Someday perhaps I may talk to Mr Keble’s sister about it, and get at more of the intention through her. I am surprised at the proportion of blankets that come back usable again. What a comfort they must be, and all the more from not being worn out in the summer yours sincerely C M Yonge 184.To Anna ButlerMS Mrs Caroline Fairclough/14 Decr 26th 1857 My dear Miss Butler With all Christmas wishes, and with my brother’s thanks, I return your catalogue, he has taken the address of the bookseller and means to write to him as soon as the Icelandic fervour returns. At present he is more occupied with his turning lathe. I wish some critic would laugh at the endless repetitions of Thor’s visit to Loki, as if it were to Sagas what Harold’s body is to English history to artists. Yes, I liked that Xmas article in the Saturday, but owing to the paucity of new books it has been less amusing lately, save when grinding the bones of poor Mr Tupper. 2 You will be glad to hear that Miss Dyson has seen Mr Paget, /a surgeon\ who reassured them all very much, ordered steel, which seems to revive her at every drop, and gives her every reason to hope that she will at least return to her usual state.3 She was going downstairs and to Church when last I heard. I only hope she may not have attempted too much this week and thrown herself back. I am glad you are going on with Likes & Dislikes, will Julia still keep her mind about India in the present state of affairs?4 yours sincerely C M Yonge 185.To Elizabeth RobertsMS Huntington Library Otterbourne, Winchester. Febry 16th 1858 My dear Miss Roberts, I am very sorry for my very stupid omission. I fancied that I had sent the money before for Ely, but I see it was not so, and I am much obliged to you for reminding me. 1 These stamps should have come before but that our village post office requires a day’s notice when it is called upon for so large a supply. I hope Lincoln at least will come in your way, rather like the mountain and Mahomet is it not? Fortunately these sketches are not necessarily continuous. I shall be very glad when any inclination leads you to send me another chapter for the Monthly Packet on that or any other subject. Did I ever mention to you my notion of collecting a descriptive and historical series of Rivers for the Packet. My stock at present consists of the Euphrates and the Dee and the Arno is coming. So you see the field is varied and I almost hope you may have some pet river to describe Yours sincerely C M Yonge 186.To an Unknown WomanMS Princeton University, Parrish Collection, C0171: Box 29. Otterbourne, Winchester. Aug 16th 1858 Dear Madam, I am much obliged for your offer of sending an account of the Queen’s visit to Cherbourg for the Monthly Packet, but I am afraid that the pages are already so fully engaged that it could hardly be inserted while it still retained the fresh interest which an article on such a subject requires.2 It could certainly not appear in September, nor unless very short in October, and after that the time for it would be gone by . I therefore think I had better decline it, with many thanks, while there is still time to offer it to some other periodical With many thanks Yours sincerely C M Yonge
