Dear McKerrow

I am returning your list of place-names with some corrections. Your general statement as to the form of the locative is quite correct, according to the grammars.

Many of your names are unfamiliar to me, including Bellositum Dobunorum for Oxford, which sticks terribly in my gizzard. I don’t notice any omissions, except perhaps ‘Beauvais’. The rest explains itself, I think.

Yours sincerely
V. Scholderer
