Dear Dr Thompson:

I'am finally returning the Moffatt translation of
the New restament which you so kindly lent me last winter.
I have really made good use of it, I think: even taking it
as the basis of discussions in a couple of "retreats"
in which faculty members from Asbury and the College of the
Bible were here. I regretted that you were not able to
come on one of them. Perhaps some other time.

At the same time I enclose a print of some translations
of Vallejo, the Peruvian poet who in the '305 was rather
radical but whose work has a certain force and integrity.

In any case I enjoyed translating him. Only four poems
however. This copy is for the library. If you would like
one, let me know please and when I get some more I can send
one on to you.

Always with very best wishes,

Cordially yours in Christ
