Dear Mr Hammer-

This is to let you knee-3 that work is fast pro—
ressine on the translation of the Guerric Christ-
mas sermons. I haVe enlisted the aid of a 111m :1“ Seton
Till College, a good latI 11 st, who has attac1ce d the
job with enthusiasm. If in the fu ture you miaht be
looking: around for some thinr: else interesting, to
publish, she has one or two ter 11Slations of 12th
century material, particul arly bIro c‘t 1I'lred of
1-1'1_ evaulx. She Would so glad to let you have them.
I will let you haVe the translations surely in
a few weeks. The Latin text is in Highs vol .185.
I sent her 111v copy so I cannot check the columns,
but thev ale near the be ginnino. Pobably it would.
be more convenient for you to set the Latin up from
a tyg'wewritten copy. In that case, please let me know
and I 111 ll inform Sister Rose.

Have you given any further thought to our text?

How did you like Zodia us and. the cook on Autun?
The monks who did those Books are thinking of puh’Iishing
some of their mrk in this country. Do you think that
Pantheon, for instance , would be interested in the
nutun vo lune?

Peter 11:1: ts, our soul ‘tor of tr -e stations, is now
here and the stations I11th him. 3111; t .ey are still
not unpacked, However the photographs 0;.» them seem to
me to be exceptionally good.

ifith best wishes to you and 111‘s Hammr—and God
bless you both. _

U‘evotedly in Christ
