167.To Harriet Dyke Acland Troyte2MS Manchester Central Library, Griffith 39 May 26th 1857 Madam, I am not aware whether Mr Mozley acknowledged the receipt of your friend's kind subscription towards the peal of bells at Auckland, New Zealand, and I therefore gladly express my thanks for the kindness The letter printed in the Monthly Packet was from Mrs Selwyn herself, and it is the very earnest wish of her friends in England to be able to send out to her that of which she has so well expressed the need. May I say that the odd pence of the sum are a great gratification for it is by small efforts that we must hope to succeed I remain yours much obliged C M Yonge
May 29th [1857?]1 Dear Miss Smith I am going to ask you in my private capacity to do me a kindness. My brother is just setting out on an expedition to Norway, and we are ignorant whether we can write to him there in the ordinary manner for the Continent. I mean whether poste restante is the usual form, or if there is any other mode more congenial to the north, and also whether we should spell Drontheim Trondheim. I trust you will not think me troublesome in asking these particulars which a /former\ resident can so much better be depended for answering correctly than any post office. I should like to know whether you found that your letters were fairly regular. I see they profess to have a daily post. yours very truly C M Yonge 169.To Miss MoorsomMS Princeton University: Parrish Collection, C0171: Box 29 June 13th 1857 My dear Miss Moorsom I wrote to the author of the Garland of the Year2 in case she should be able to help you to any authorities for the Oxalis, but I have an answer from her this morning saying that it was one of the very few flowers which she described at second hand, but she has written to the person who helped her to try if she can recollect what book she found it in, in the library of the British Museum, rather a wide field it must be confessed! I have been looking in Mrs Loudon’s perennials, but I cannot find it there, and I should think the index to some gardening magazines was your best chance.1 I can send you a very good account of all our neighbours here. Mrs Keble is nearly at her best, and the Moberlys are all brilliant, the school room party have just migrated to the farm, where we join them on Monday while the house is being painted. Perhaps you have not heard that the Peter Youngs are gone to a curacy near Totness a district of Dartington parish, a great loss to us all, excepting in Church music, for Mr le Geyt his successor has a very fine voice, and has made a great improvement in the Choir. If any thing satisfactory comes to light on the Oxalis subject I will write again Yours sincerely C M Yonge 170.To Anna ButlerMS University of Delaware Library, Newark, Delaware, F295 Otterbourne, Winchester June 13th 1857 My dear Miss Butler, Two lines to say that here I am at home, & shall be delighted to have Likes & Dislikes if they are ready. I go to Dogd on Monday week, but if I could have them in the interval, I should be glad. But I am afraid it is of no use to try for two chapters in one number I am engaged to so much, I have been reading Peothès2 in English and delighting in him. In great haste Yours sincerely C M Yonge
I certainly do like the Likes and Dislikes so much that I consider my self selfdenying in what I am going to say, and you will consider me servile, but I really believe that the Packet must steer clear of Puseyite name and discussion, and do what it does silently. So I suspect, with all thanks, that it will be wiser for Emily to stand alone, and yet I am sorry to part with her, and admire what does not suit me to put in.3 But somehow Lucy & Charlotte are rather too much the same type as my Lucy and Sophy1, and the Object in Life2 which is just begun gets on the same ground and I think it better to have things more entirely in different lines in at the same time. The last form of the Stamp myth is a gentlemen who is to give a nomination to Christ’s hospital to a widow’s son. Also I hear that one of the generous collectors was found erasing the postmarks! The novel criticisms are great fun, and very true. After all perhaps I am more afraid of what may come than of what there is, but on the whole I think you will go on more freely without the packet to trammel you, and I am very anxious to know what cure you devise for the prejudiced old uncle. I should doubt his ever being cured. Would you or could you send me an outline of the future course of the story, that is if you had rather it did appear in the Monthly Packet, and then I might be better able to judge yours sincerely C M Yonge 172.To Mr OwenMS Charles E. Young Research Library, UCLA, collection 100. Otterbourne,Winchester June 30th 1857
Your pretty present arrived quite safely this morning, and I am greatly obliged to you for the kindness of the thought in bringing me a memorial from a part of the world where my imagination at one time tarried so long. The bracelets will be great friends of mine for many reasons, among which their smooth touch and pretty grain may well be reckoned. My brother is as usual in the depths of Norway, and was last heard of with Colonel Blois near Stavanger, enjoying large salmon and long daylight. With my mother’s kind regards, and my best thanks Yours truly C M Yonge
Please to consider this note as coming from Mr and Mrs Keble, as they are very anxious to get this woman’s petition1 signed as universally and numerously as possible before the end of next week, when it should be returned (with a tail of names on the ruled lines, and on further sheets gummed on beyond if necessary) to Mrs Keble. The name of the place to be written at the top of each district, and people’s husband’s or father’s professions after their names. It is supposed it may have an effect as the Woman’s petition about the Wife’s Sister certainly did. If you think of any other quarters to which to send them, please apply to Mrs Keble for them, as she keeps the store yours sincerely C M Yonge Directory: 337 337 -> Your Name Period Date Chapter 24 Earth Science Word Study Movements of the Ocean 337 -> 3 Cheyne Street 337 -> Georgia Department of Human Services Alcohol/Drug Screening Services Solicitation No: 42700-040-dhs0000205 Cost Proposal Worksheet Metro Area – 337 -> Earth Science Chapter 9 – a view of Earth’s Past Section 3 – The Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras 337 -> Press release alitalia / sea – Aeroporti di Milano 337 -> The Carleton Clinic Cumbria Partnership nhs foundation Trust 337 -> Earth Science Chapter 21 Section 1 Ocean Currents 337 -> Senate, No. 3375 state of new jersey 217th legislature Download 1.33 Mb.
