Dear Sir,
Early in this year I sent a transcript of a few pages of Saxon from a Cotton MS. to Mr Skeat, and asked him to compare it with the Trinity MS. of the same {1}, and if the Trin. MS. were better, to get it copied for me. I have since understood from Mr S. that you were so kind as to offer to do it yourself. May I ask whether you have had an opportunity of attending to the matter? The old reference, which I found in Hickes {2}, is Class à dextra Ser. med. 5, fol. 44, the subject being a Saxon paraphrase of Cato’s Distichs with some additions. I believe Mr Skeat left my rough copy with you.
I am, dear Sir,
Yours sincerely,
E. Brock
W. Aldis Wright, Esq.
