S. Leger Vanban

(Ybnne) France.

lie will be ool"~hteo to have some sign of interest
in this country, and I think his work is so very
good that he deserves all the enCOHragement possible.
I have not been able to help him at all in getting

a volume on Burgundy and its romanesque chnrches
published here. Did I tell you he had a brand no?

one on the Churches of Auvergne? It is amazing
country and the enchitect re is l ijod and prixitive
to suit the land and the people.

SO, I Shall be praying for yew both especially
0n ~nster Sunday at hass. Have you. evcr'been here in
Ho;; Jeek? This yea r of course there are a lot
of Changes, but certainly it will be an exocrience
to have the solemn Kass of haundy Thirsd.ay in the
evening, at the time of the Last Supper.

I Wonder if hrs hammer could track down one of
these books for he in the University Library? Father
Aooot has permitted me to ask for either Series I or
II (or both) of Dr Suzuki‘s EEEXHx Essays on Zen
Buddhism, or the same author's Ini:roduction +,o Zen,
published.by pantheon (or is it some otho; author)?
I would be very wroteful for any one of these.

Inny thanzs, and God bless you both.

Sincerely in Our Lord /
