187.To Marianne Bigg WitherMS Princeton University, Parrish Collection, C0171: Box 29. 3 Otterbourne, Winchester. Aug 27th 1858 My dear Marianne “Teneriffe an Astronomer’s Experiment” published by Reeve is the proper title of Piazzi Smith,1 [I] waited till I could [illegible] perfect in it I should think it a book quite worth sending out, very entertaining, and the writing of a sensible man. I return Elizabeth’s book of poetry, which I have been slowly enjoying, it is most beautiful, one upon the scenes of earth coming near heaven is I think my favourite Your affectionate C M Yonge I ought to have thanked for the book long ago only I waited for Teneriffe. 188.To Anne YongeMS location unknown. Printed in Coleridge, Life 220 Otterbourne, Winchester, September 10, 1858. My dear Anne- Graham and James Yonge2 went away before we were up this morning, and it would all have seemed like a dream if Duke had not been there at breakfast. Alice Moberly came out in the fly that fetched us, and spent the whole day with mamma; they gave the schools some buns and sugared negus by way of celebration, and I think mamma did very well. I think we must have made a very pretty procession; Julian went into church first with Mrs. Walter and James, and then when the Colonel brought Frances, we six bridesmaids lined the pretty lych-gate, all hung with festoons of flowers, and closed in behind her.3 She had been a good deal overcome while waiting at home, and much more in real need of sal-volatile than Jane was, and I believe she had a very bad headache all day, but she was quite right as long as she had anything to do, and was very bright and pretty at the luncheon, with little Herbert upon her lap. Poor Louisa was very much distressed, and little Gertrude looked so pale, and clung to her every moment she could.4 There were about thirty-six people at the luncheon, at a table arranged like a T. . . . Julian looked very nice and well, and one longs for their coming home to eat the great piece of honeycomb which Kezia's mother has most appropriately presented.... The school-children scattered laurel leaves and flowers, and the church was very full of people. Julian told me to send thanks for the pretty little obelisk and the two plates---how very well the sweetwilliam is done, and I have a special delight in the white flower at the base of the obelisk. Mr. Keble is going to give him a big Bible. I have so many letters to write that I cannot go on any longer- Your most affectionate C. M. Yonge 189.To the Reverend Upton Richards1MS Columbia University Library, New York: Yonge Coll Otterbourne, Winchester. Novr 23d 1858 Dear Sir, I hope I am not taking a great liberty in addressing you, but I am doing so in that home that you will excuse me in the circumstances. These will be best explained if you would glance at the paper entitled ‘The Little Patient’ in the October number of the Monthly Packet The little girl there faithfully described is again in the hospital for Children with another attack of disease of the heart, now so far mitigated that she may live some time longer with care. She must be returned to her wretched home in a week’s time unless some asylum be found for her, and that in London, as her parents and her medical attendants both object to her being removed into the country. Sister Ellen of Clewer,2 suggested that it was possible that the Home attached to All Saints might afford a refuge for her, and in this hope I have ventured to apply directly to you upon the subject. If any small sum should be required towards her maintenance, I am encouraged to think that something could be raised towards it among those interested in the case Yours respectfully Charlotte M Yonge 190.From the Reverend John Keble to Charlotte Mary YongeMS location unknown. Printed in Musings over the Christian Year xxviii. H. V., 24 Novr., /58. My dear Charlotte, On considering the matter I have come to think it inexpedient that my initials should appear in your book. You see it is quite a different case from the ordinary ones in which that is done. It is not an unknown little bird waiting to be affectionately jerked out of the nest. So far there is no need of an ‘imprimatur’, and do you not think that under the circumstances, it is undesirable to let people think or say (as they are too likely to do) that this is only Mr. Keble speaking with another voice? If there is any force in the phrase ‘independent testimony,’ I think it is worth considering in this case. This, I own, seems to me decisive; but I have also that scruple that I should have to make mention of these other books in a way more suitable for you, seeing that I have not read them; and moreover considering the great quantity of ground which your book covers directly and incidentally, and that I have not seen, as a critic, the whole of it, I should have to say that warmly as I approve and admire it, I could not make myself responsible for every statement and opinion. I hope this will not vex you, and I am very sorry to have delayed you to no purpose. If you, on consideration, still wish it, and will give me your reasons, I will reconsider, for I hate not saying Yes to you.1 Your very affte J. K.
MS Princeton University, Parrish Collection, C0171: Box 29. Otterbourne, Winchester. Novr 24th 1858 My dear Mr Coleridge I send you a Post Office order for £2 which is all I can very well do for this most melancholy case, as just before Christmas is not the time for my galleons to come in . If you will send me another paper, I will forward it to some of the Gibbses who might perhaps be able to do something for the poor family.2 I do not know of any one else to ask. Thank you for your information about the Melanesian fund, which I thought most satisfactory, for it would be very absurd to detain the money from securities equally good and more profitable. I was very sorry to miss the Abrahams when they were in this neighbourhood lately but the Kebles saw them. Julian and his bride are with some of her relations at present and my mother has just set off to Winchester to the confirmation of her Godchild, one of the Moberlys. Pray give my kind regards to your daughter and believe me Yours very sincerely C M Yonge
