Could you give me any information about old shrines? In the record of a vow to visit the various celebrated shrines abroad to obtain the recoverage of a child, probably about the year 1543, there is mention of Saint a d rian (Adrian?) in Flanders + St Glaude (possibly Claude), we suppose in France, as it is named after two or three othersp2in that country – Fr. Stevenson thinks it is probably a vow made by Mary of Guise, the mother of Mary Queen of Scots and any information that you could give would be very welcome - I know how busy you are, so I must apologize for troubling you, pray do not send more than a post card if you are pressed for time -
I hope you have found your dictionary as useful as you anticipated, my cousin told me you were in correspondence with Mr. Skeats, I am so glad of it, I am sure it must be interesting to both.p3I will get the catalogue of the Clarendon press publications, they publish most of the Anglo Saxon works - some of which might be useful to you - One of my husband’s nieces is learning Anglo Saxon the other is a Hebrew student women are wise or try to be, on this side of the water -
I wish some researches in our grand libraries would send you to England how glad I should be to see you.
Thanking you for the trouble I am giving you - ask a remembrance in your good prayers,
