Dear Mr Bullock,
As I could not think of anything specially about the ancient Breton Church, I looked at Sauvestre’s Derniers Bretons, and I thought the endurance of St Machutus’ teaching deserved to come in.2

Sauvestre gives various French prose translations of the popular hymns. Those on Paradise and one Christmas ‘Noël’ are very beautiful, but there was only space for the rag picker

Yours truly
C M Yonge
