My dear Mr Coxe
I am going to venture on sending you my Greek Saints’ names. They are out of a Russian Calendar, and are those that seem to have been productive of names and that cannot have been common to both the Eastern and Western Churches since Alban Butler takes no notice of them. I hope it will not be very troublesome to you to note down for [me] where and when they lived, and just the leading feature that individualizes them. I am almost ashamed to bother you about it when you are so busy, but even if I were in the study of which I have such pleasant recollections, and I hope gained much ground, though if I had been less stupid I should have gained more.

With many thanks for help, past, present and to come.
