Dear Miss Phillpotts, It seems hardly fair to have kept your paper several days, when the Monthly Packet is obliged to 'draw a line' against the numerous Missionary Papers it might have, but I wanted to show it to Miss Crawley - who you know, as well as Miss Morshead was one of the first Sisters.

She begged to keep a copy of it, and I think it would be most advisable to publish it. I was ... continue reading

Pray tell Juliana that I have been told of a master at Rugby who was so fascinated with The Brownies that he ordered all the 30 old volumes of the magazine for his house!

Dear Mr Macmillan I think I was to have 6 copies of the Prince and Page sent to myself - also in the same parcel one of the Heir of Redclyffe. I have seen nothing of them so perhaps they have been forgotten or come to some mischance by the way.

With all new years greetings Yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Mr Macmillan, The books came last night all right - many thanks. There are some touches to be put to the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest for which I had better have the proof sheets. Indeed I think that printers are very apt to make quite gratuitous mistakes in working from what is in type.

I am told that the Latin word on Ebbo’s tomb is wrong, and ought to be Demum, indeed I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Erskine I have asked Ivanovna to write to you herself as what I know comes chiefly from her. She is Miss Johanna Batty, I believe her father was a general, and she is very learned in all charities.

In haste yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Christabel, I should have said that I think you must specify your stones, there are such a frightful number- Pray have opal and turquoise- One for its weird history, the other for its nature- but exclude all the stupid ones, like garnets &c or we shall be swamped - I shall send the parcel on Monday - Meantime I send you the grand Goslings acceptance - I think Fernseed must be her name - ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan, Thanks for your kind letter and for the payment. I quite agree to the Sunday Library being brought out in parts, as a good plan. I think if it were made pretty and attractive children would take it in for themselves. The difficulty to me at present seems to be, how to embrace the various subjects without being desultory. I suppose you mean that each part would be complete in itself, though three ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith Here is for Georgie who really has been a most brilliant and successful story that every body has liked. I wonder when you will have another such to send me. It is a long time since I have heard of you, but I hope you have been well. This has been a sad winter in many ways.

yours sincerely C M Yonge

Dear Mr Macmillan Thank you for your kind full letter. I feel great confidence in Dr Vaughan, and should consider his as a very safe name to sanction the Library; and I think all the arrangements shew great consideration for my views. I think I could well work under them. I believe that the toleration that you ascribe to me is rather for persons than principles. I do very greatly admire many persons who I think ... continue reading

My dear Henrietta I believe Goosedom is to be revived in the new members, not that new ones are ever so good as old. The two first proposed are accepted, and I hope your Lilian will be, but you will hear from the Secretary. I am afraid I did not find her out at the Patteson’s party. We shall have to make a new arrangement as to circulation which you shall hear in the next Cackle ... continue reading

The two first proposed are accepted, and I hope your Lilian will be, but you will hear from the Secretary. I am afraid I did not find her out at the Patteson’s party. We shall have to make a new arrangement as to circulation which you shall hear in the next Cackle ... continue reading

Dear Miss Phillpotts, It seems hardly fair to have kept your paper several days, when the Monthly Packet is obliged to 'draw a line' against the numerous Missionary Papers it might have, but I wanted to show it to Miss Crawley - who you know, as well as Miss Morshead was one of the first Sisters.

She begged to keep a copy of it, and I think it would be most advisable to publish it. I was ... continue reading

Pray tell Juliana that I have been told of a master at Rugby who was so fascinated with The Brownies that he ordered all the 30 old volumes of the magazine for his house!

Dear Mr Macmillan I think I was to have 6 copies of the Prince and Page sent to myself - also in the same parcel one of the Heir of Redclyffe. I have seen nothing of them so perhaps they have been forgotten or come to some mischance by the way.

With all new years greetings Yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Mr Macmillan, The books came last night all right - many thanks. There are some touches to be put to the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest for which I had better have the proof sheets. Indeed I think that printers are very apt to make quite gratuitous mistakes in working from what is in type.

I am told that the Latin word on Ebbo’s tomb is wrong, and ought to be Demum, indeed I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Erskine I have asked Ivanovna to write to you herself as what I know comes chiefly from her. She is Miss Johanna Batty, I believe her father was a general, and she is very learned in all charities.

In haste yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Christabel, I should have said that I think you must specify your stones, there are such a frightful number- Pray have opal and turquoise- One for its weird history, the other for its nature- but exclude all the stupid ones, like garnets &c or we shall be swamped - I shall send the parcel on Monday - Meantime I send you the grand Goslings acceptance - I think Fernseed must be her name - ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan, Thanks for your kind letter and for the payment. I quite agree to the Sunday Library being brought out in parts, as a good plan. I think if it were made pretty and attractive children would take it in for themselves. The difficulty to me at present seems to be, how to embrace the various subjects without being desultory. I suppose you mean that each part would be complete in itself, though three ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith Here is for Georgie who really has been a most brilliant and successful story that every body has liked. I wonder when you will have another such to send me. It is a long time since I have heard of you, but I hope you have been well. This has been a sad winter in many ways.

yours sincerely C M Yonge

Dear Mr Macmillan Thank you for your kind full letter. I feel great confidence in Dr Vaughan, and should consider his as a very safe name to sanction the Library; and I think all the arrangements shew great consideration for my views.

I feel great confidence in Dr Vaughan, and should consider his as a very safe name to sanction the Library; and I think all the arrangements shew great consideration for my views. I think I could well work under them. I believe that the toleration that you ascribe to me is rather for persons than principles. I do very greatly admire many persons who I think ... continue reading

My dear Henrietta I believe Goosedom is to be revived in the new members, not that new ones are ever so good as old. The two first proposed are accepted, and I hope your Lilian will be, but you will hear from the Secretary. I am afraid I did not find her out at the Patteson’s party. We shall have to make a new arrangement as to circulation which you shall hear in the next Cackle ... continue reading

Dear Miss Phillpotts, It seems hardly fair to have kept your paper several days, when the Monthly Packet is obliged to 'draw a line' against the numerous Missionary Papers it might have, but I wanted to show it to Miss Crawley - who you know, as well as Miss Morshead was one of the first Sisters.

She begged to keep a copy of it, and I think it would be most advisable to publish it. I was ... continue reading

Pray tell Juliana that I have been told of a master at Rugby who was so fascinated with The Brownies that he ordered all the 30 old volumes of the magazine for his house!

Dear Mr Macmillan I think I was to have 6 copies of the Prince and Page sent to myself - also in the same parcel one of the Heir of Redclyffe. I have seen nothing of them so perhaps they have been forgotten or come to some mischance by the way.

With all new years greetings Yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Mr Macmillan, The books came last night all right - many thanks. There are some touches to be put to the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest for which I had better have the proof sheets. Indeed I think that printers are very apt to make quite gratuitous mistakes in working from what is in type.

I am told that the Latin word on Ebbo’s tomb is wrong, and ought to be Demum, indeed I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Erskine I have asked Ivanovna to write to you herself as what I know comes chiefly from her. She is Miss Johanna Batty, I believe her father was a general, and she is very learned in all charities.

In haste yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Christabel, I should have said that I think you must specify your stones, there are such a frightful number- Pray have opal and turquoise- One for its weird history, the other for its nature- but exclude all the stupid ones, like garnets &c or we shall be swamped - I shall send the parcel on Monday - Meantime I send you the grand Goslings acceptance - I think Fernseed must be her name - ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan, Thanks for your kind letter and for the payment. I quite agree to the Sunday Library being brought out in parts, as a good plan. I think if it were made pretty and attractive children would take it in for themselves. The difficulty to me at present seems to be, how to embrace the various subjects without being desultory. I suppose you mean that each part would be complete in itself, though three ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith Here is for Georgie who really has been a most brilliant and successful story that every body has liked. I wonder when you will have another such to send me. It is a long time since I have heard of you, but I hope you have been well. This has been a sad winter in many ways.

My dear Miss Smith Here is for Georgie who really has been a most brilliant and successful story that every body has liked. I wonder when you will have another such to send me. It is a long time since I have heard of you, but I hope you have been well. This has been a sad winter in many ways.

Dear Mr Macmillan Thank you for your kind full letter. I feel great confidence in Dr Vaughan, and should consider his as a very safe name to sanction the Library; and I think all the arrangements shew great consideration for my views. I think I could well work under them. I believe that the toleration that you ascribe to me is rather for persons than principles. I do very greatly admire many persons who I think ... continue reading

My dear Henrietta I believe Goosedom is to be revived in the new members, not that new ones are ever so good as old. The two first proposed are accepted, and I hope your Lilian will be, but you will hear from the Secretary. I am afraid I did not find her out at the Patteson’s party. We shall have to make a new arrangement as to circulation which you shall hear in the next Cackle ... continue reading

Dear Miss Phillpotts, It seems hardly fair to have kept your paper several days, when the Monthly Packet is obliged to 'draw a line' against the numerous Missionary Papers it might have, but I wanted to show it to Miss Crawley - who you know, as well as Miss Morshead was one of the first Sisters.

She begged to keep a copy of it, and I think it would be most advisable to publish it. I was ... continue reading

Pray tell Juliana that I have been told of a master at Rugby who was so fascinated with The Brownies that he ordered all the 30 old volumes of the magazine for his house!

Dear Mr Macmillan I think I was to have 6 copies of the Prince and Page sent to myself - also in the same parcel one of the Heir of Redclyffe. I have seen nothing of them so perhaps they have been forgotten or come to some mischance by the way.

With all new years greetings Yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Mr Macmillan, The books came last night all right - many thanks. There are some touches to be put to the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest for which I had better have the proof sheets. Indeed I think that printers are very apt to make quite gratuitous mistakes in working from what is in type.

I am told that the Latin word on Ebbo’s tomb is wrong, and ought to be Demum, indeed I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Erskine I have asked Ivanovna to write to you herself as what I know comes chiefly from her. She is Miss Johanna Batty, I believe her father was a general, and she is very learned in all charities.

In haste yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Christabel, I should have said that I think you must specify your stones, there are such a frightful number- Pray have opal and turquoise- One for its weird history, the other for its nature- but exclude all the stupid ones, like garnets &c or we shall be swamped - I shall send the parcel on Monday - Meantime I send you the grand Goslings acceptance - I think Fernseed must be her name - ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan, Thanks for your kind letter and for the payment. I quite agree to the Sunday Library being brought out in parts, as a good plan.

My dear Christabel, I should have said that I think you must specify your stones, there are such a frightful number- Pray have opal and turquoise- One for its weird history, the other for its nature- but exclude all the stupid ones, like garnets &c or we shall be swamped - I shall send the parcel on Monday - Meantime I send you the grand Goslings acceptance - I think Fernseed must be her name - ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan, Thanks for your kind letter and for the payment. I quite agree to the Sunday Library being brought out in parts, as a good plan. I think if it were made pretty and attractive children would take it in for themselves. The difficulty to me at present seems to be, how to embrace the various subjects without being desultory. I suppose you mean that each part would be complete in itself, though three ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith Here is for Georgie who really has been a most brilliant and successful story that every body has liked. I wonder when you will have another such to send me. It is a long time since I have heard of you, but I hope you have been well. This has been a sad winter in many ways.

yours sincerely C M Yonge

Dear Mr Macmillan Thank you for your kind full letter. I feel great confidence in Dr Vaughan, and should consider his as a very safe name to sanction the Library; and I think all the arrangements shew great consideration for my views. I think I could well work under them. I believe that the toleration that you ascribe to me is rather for persons than principles. I do very greatly admire many persons who I think ... continue reading

My dear Henrietta I believe Goosedom is to be revived in the new members, not that new ones are ever so good as old. The two first proposed are accepted, and I hope your Lilian will be, but you will hear from the Secretary. I am afraid I did not find her out at the Patteson’s party. We shall have to make a new arrangement as to circulation which you shall hear in the next Cackle ... continue reading

Dear Miss Phillpotts, It seems hardly fair to have kept your paper several days, when the Monthly Packet is obliged to 'draw a line' against the numerous Missionary Papers it might have, but I wanted to show it to Miss Crawley - who you know, as well as Miss Morshead was one of the first Sisters.

She begged to keep a copy of it, and I think it would be most advisable to publish it. I was ... continue reading

Pray tell Juliana that I have been told of a master at Rugby who was so fascinated with The Brownies that he ordered all the 30 old volumes of the magazine for his house!

Dear Mr Macmillan I think I was to have 6 copies of the Prince and Page sent to myself - also in the same parcel one of the Heir of Redclyffe. I have seen nothing of them so perhaps they have been forgotten or come to some mischance by the way.

With all new years greetings Yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Mr Macmillan, The books came last night all right - many thanks. There are some touches to be put to the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest for which I had better have the proof sheets. Indeed I think that printers are very apt to make quite gratuitous mistakes in working from what is in type.

I am told that the Latin word on Ebbo’s tomb is wrong, and ought to be Demum, indeed I ... continue reading

My dear Mr Macmillan, The books came last night all right - many thanks. There are some touches to be put to the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest for which I had better have the proof sheets. Indeed I think that printers are very apt to make quite gratuitous mistakes in working from what is in type.

I am told that the Latin word on Ebbo’s tomb is wrong, and ought to be Demum, indeed I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Erskine I have asked Ivanovna to write to you herself as what I know comes chiefly from her. She is Miss Johanna Batty, I believe her father was a general, and she is very learned in all charities.

In haste yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Christabel, I should have said that I think you must specify your stones, there are such a frightful number- Pray have opal and turquoise- One for its weird history, the other for its nature- but exclude all the stupid ones, like garnets &c or we shall be swamped - I shall send the parcel on Monday - Meantime I send you the grand Goslings acceptance - I think Fernseed must be her name - ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan, Thanks for your kind letter and for the payment. I quite agree to the Sunday Library being brought out in parts, as a good plan. I think if it were made pretty and attractive children would take it in for themselves. The difficulty to me at present seems to be, how to embrace the various subjects without being desultory. I suppose you mean that each part would be complete in itself, though three ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith Here is for Georgie who really has been a most brilliant and successful story that every body has liked. I wonder when you will have another such to send me. It is a long time since I have heard of you, but I hope you have been well. This has been a sad winter in many ways.

yours sincerely C M Yonge

Dear Mr Macmillan Thank you for your kind full letter. I feel great confidence in Dr Vaughan, and should consider his as a very safe name to sanction the Library; and I think all the arrangements shew great consideration for my views. I think I could well work under them. I believe that the toleration that you ascribe to me is rather for persons than principles. I do very greatly admire many persons who I think ... continue reading

My dear Henrietta I believe Goosedom is to be revived in the new members, not that new ones are ever so good as old. The two first proposed are accepted, and I hope your Lilian will be, but you will hear from the Secretary. I am afraid I did not find her out at the Patteson’s party. We shall have to make a new arrangement as to circulation which you shall hear in the next Cackle ... continue reading

Dear Miss Phillpotts, It seems hardly fair to have kept your paper several days, when the Monthly Packet is obliged to 'draw a line' against the numerous Missionary Papers it might have, but I wanted to show it to Miss Crawley - who you know, as well as Miss Morshead was one of the first Sisters.

She begged to keep a copy of it, and I think it would be most advisable to publish it. I was ... continue reading

Pray tell Juliana that I have been told of a master at Rugby who was so fascinated with The Brownies that he ordered all the 30 old volumes of the magazine for his house!

Pray tell Juliana that I have been told of a master at Rugby who was so fascinated with The Brownies that he ordered all the 30 old volumes of the magazine for his house!

Dear Mr Macmillan I think I was to have 6 copies of the Prince and Page sent to myself - also in the same parcel one of the Heir of Redclyffe. I have seen nothing of them so perhaps they have been forgotten or come to some mischance by the way.

With all new years greetings Yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Mr Macmillan, The books came last night all right - many thanks. There are some touches to be put to the Dove in the Eagle’s Nest for which I had better have the proof sheets. Indeed I think that printers are very apt to make quite gratuitous mistakes in working from what is in type.

I am told that the Latin word on Ebbo’s tomb is wrong, and ought to be Demum, indeed I ... continue reading

My dear Miss Erskine I have asked Ivanovna to write to you herself as what I know comes chiefly from her. She is Miss Johanna Batty, I believe her father was a general, and she is very learned in all charities.

In haste yours sincerely C M Yonge

My dear Christabel, I should have said that I think you must specify your stones, there are such a frightful number- Pray have opal and turquoise- One for its weird history, the other for its nature- but exclude all the stupid ones, like garnets &c or we shall be swamped - I shall send the parcel on Monday - Meantime I send you the grand Goslings acceptance - I think Fernseed must be her name - ... continue reading

Dear Mr Macmillan, Thanks for your kind letter and for the payment. I quite agree to the Sunday Library being brought out in parts, as a good plan. I think if it were made pretty and attractive children would take it in for themselves. The difficulty to me at present seems to be, how to embrace the various subjects without being desultory. I suppose you mean that each part would be complete in itself, though three ... continue reading

My dear Miss Smith Here is for Georgie who really has been a most brilliant and successful story that every body has liked. I wonder when you will have another such to send me. It is a long time since I have heard of you, but I hope you have been well. This has been a sad winter in many ways.

yours sincerely C M Yonge

Dear Mr Macmillan Thank you for your kind full letter. I feel great confidence in Dr Vaughan, and should consider his as a very safe name to sanction the Library; and I think all the arrangements shew great consideration for my views. I think I could well work under them. I believe that the toleration that you ascribe to me is rather for persons than principles. I do very greatly admire many persons who I think ... continue reading

My dear Henrietta I believe Goosedom is to be revived in the new members, not that new ones are ever so good as old. The two first proposed are accepted, and I hope your Lilian will be, but you will hear from the Secretary. I am afraid I did not find her out at the Patteson’s party. We shall have to make a new arrangement as to circulation which you shall hear in the next Cackle ... continue reading
