Letters 1 to 10 out of 70
My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy. I do not know whether you have ever felt a sort of sense of the absence of the whole salt of life in ... continue reading
My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight
yours sincerely C M ... continue reading
Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it. I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those ... continue reading
My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies. Maria had a talk with Mr. Siddon, who expressed the most unqualified delighted approval of the book, but in general I think people regret that it is more the history of ... continue reading
My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.
Will you kindly when you have looked it over return it addressed

... continue readingDear Madam, I was shocked indeed to see Mrs Barnard’s death in the paper and always hoped it was a false report. There was something very touching in the subject of the poem that had appeared that month. It seems to me that it might answer better to the family to publish a collection of her poems than to put them forth very slowly and dispersedly as a magazine must necessarily make them appear – as ... continue reading
Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies.

My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.

Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy. I do not know whether you have ever felt a sort of sense of the absence of the whole salt of life in ... continue reading
My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were.

Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy. I do not know whether you have ever felt a sort of sense of the absence of the whole salt of life in ... continue reading
My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it. I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those ... continue reading
My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies. Maria had a talk with Mr. Siddon, who expressed the most unqualified delighted approval of the book, but in general I think people regret that it is more the history of ... continue reading
My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it.

My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.

Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.
Will you kindly when you have looked it over return it addressed

There was something very touching in the subject of the poem that had appeared that month.

Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy.

My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it. I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those ... continue reading
My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies.

I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy. I do not know whether you have ever felt a sort of sense of the absence of the whole salt of life in ... continue reading
My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight
yours sincerely C M ... continue reading
Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it. I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those ... continue reading
My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies. Maria had a talk with Mr. Siddon, who expressed the most unqualified delighted approval of the book, but in general I think people regret that it is more the history of ... continue reading
My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.
Will you kindly when you have looked it over return it addressed

... continue readingDear Madam, I was shocked indeed to see Mrs Barnard’s death in the paper and always hoped it was a false report. There was something very touching in the subject of the poem that had appeared that month. It seems to me that it might answer better to the family to publish a collection of her poems than to put them forth very slowly and dispersedly as a magazine must necessarily make them appear – as ... continue reading
Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies.

My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.

Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy. I do not know whether you have ever felt a sort of sense of the absence of the whole salt of life in ... continue reading
My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were.

Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy. I do not know whether you have ever felt a sort of sense of the absence of the whole salt of life in ... continue reading
My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it. I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those ... continue reading
My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies. Maria had a talk with Mr. Siddon, who expressed the most unqualified delighted approval of the book, but in general I think people regret that it is more the history of ... continue reading
My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it.

My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.

Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.
Will you kindly when you have looked it over return it addressed

There was something very touching in the subject of the poem that had appeared that month.

Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy.

My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it. I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those ... continue reading
My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies.

I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy. I do not know whether you have ever felt a sort of sense of the absence of the whole salt of life in ... continue reading
My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight
yours sincerely C M ... continue reading
Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
My dear Mrs Gatty This fairy tale strikes me as one of the very prettiest I have seen, but it is too long for the Packet and besides ought to be illustrated. So I send it to you, hoping you will have room for it. I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those ... continue reading
My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies. Maria had a talk with Mr. Siddon, who expressed the most unqualified delighted approval of the book, but in general I think people regret that it is more the history of ... continue reading
My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.
Will you kindly when you have looked it over return it addressed

... continue readingDear Madam, I was shocked indeed to see Mrs Barnard’s death in the paper and always hoped it was a false report. There was something very touching in the subject of the poem that had appeared that month. It seems to me that it might answer better to the family to publish a collection of her poems than to put them forth very slowly and dispersedly as a magazine must necessarily make them appear – as ... continue reading
Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!

I am a little disturbed by Venus shining all night but I suppose Fairy land could be no where else It is a most quaint and dainty fancy that does those ... continue reading
My dear Marianne- Here I am in the heat of the weather, with a copse before my eyes where the "grey blossoms twinkle" more like “a bright veering cloud" than I ever saw anything do before, but they are the silver buttons on the withies. Maria had a talk with Mr. Siddon, who expressed the most unqualified delighted approval of the book, but in general I think people regret that it is more the history of ... continue reading
My dear Miss Smith,
I hope you and the Incurable List are safe together somewhere! I had no list of my own so I asked a friend to send you hers, and owing to some blundering of mine I really do not know whether she sent it to Wilden manor or to Charlton.
Will you kindly when you have looked it over return it addressed

... continue readingDear Madam, I was shocked indeed to see Mrs Barnard’s death in the paper and always hoped it was a false report. There was something very touching in the subject of the poem that had appeared that month. It seems to me that it might answer better to the family to publish a collection of her poems than to put them forth very slowly and dispersedly as a magazine must necessarily make them appear – as ... continue reading
Dear Mr Furnivall, Thank you for the English Text. I do not think I can have had the hymns to the Virgin. The last I had bears the date 1866, and is a collection of poems on love, religion and politics, beginning with 'Twelve words &c-' What a wonderful store you have there!
Yours sincerely C M Yonge

Letters 1 to 10 out of 70
My dear Mary Thank you so much for your long letter and history of all your doings. I am sure if usefulness makes a happy life this ought to be one, and you must have much of kindness and of the sense of a living Church round you to fill you with energy. I do not know whether you have ever felt a sort of sense of the absence of the whole salt of life in ... continue reading
My dear Miss [name deliberately obscured] I hope I am not tormenting you but on account of other engagements I am anxious to know whether you could come this week or next. The week that begins with the 7th and has Ash Wednesday in it, I am going to spend at Mr Wilson’s but the one after that I shall be at home again if that suited you better than within the next fortnight

Dear Mr Macmillan I enclose a receipt with many thanks, and rejoicings that the books still continue to prosper. I should be finishing another Worthy today if I had not five young cousins spending the day with me, but at any rate old Curius Dentatus will come before the end of the week, I chose him as the representative of the old hardy uneducated peasant king that the first Romans were. Then comes Scipio for the ... continue reading
