          <note>The observation see fn.2 p. 172 of source text notes,  that ""The Franklin's Tale""  provided the epigraph for ""The Rescue"", would tend to provide some evidence that ""The Canterbury Tales"" was the text being read, rather than one of Chaucer's lesser known works. </note>

The style is cold and I do not see in the work the immense promise as set forth by the introduction. Chaucer I have dipped into, reading aloud as you advised. I am afraid I am not English enough to appreciate fully the father of English literature. Moreover I am generally insensible to verse.
Thereupon came ""The Stealing of the Mare"" This I delight in. I"ve read it at once and right through. It is quite inspiring most curious and altogether fascinating."</ptr>
