Letter One: He hopes to be 'present at the next Sessions', and will be 'quite prepared after the County business is over, to attend the Committee of Subscribers to Sir William Heathcotes Portrait'. Letter Two: He has spoken to 'our Principal Librarian Mr Winter Jones [John Winter Jones (1805-1881), Principal Librarian, 1866-1873], who is at the head of this Establishment', and has left Yonge's letter 'in his hands as a Memorandum'. 'Whenever it may be convenient to you to visit the Museum - You will have nothing to do but to send in your Card, and Mr Jones will be happy to give you every assistance in his power -'. He is 'delighted to hear that our new Buildings are making satisfactory progress'. It will give him 'still greater pleasure' to hear that Yonge has 'commenced the restoration of our grand Old Hall'. The recipient's identity is uncertain, but there was clearly a connection between Eversley and the Yonges of Otterbourne House: according to J. B. Yonge's sister the novelist Charlotte Yonge ('John Keble's Parishes, A History of Hursley and Otterbourne'), at the time of the Reform Bill, 'One consequence of the riotous state of the country was the raising of troops of volunteer yeomanry cavalry. Charles Shaw Lefevre, Esq. (afterwards Speaker and Lord Eversley), was colonel, [.] Mr. Yonge a captain [.]'.
