It is an education just to live in Oxford

New College, Oxford

March 20, 1917

Dear Father,

This marks the spot where Latimer, Ridley, and Crammer were burnt. The building they were taken from (St Marys) is a fine one. (Crammer was the Archbishop of Canterbury, the other two were bishops) -burned at the stake, 1555- orders of Mary, Queen of Scots.

The place generally is old fashioned. It is an education just to live in Oxford, but we get too much work to spend too much time seeing the place.

Love from Stid.
