The Ordo is most useful -- I have a Mame, 1870 Breviary I am struggling away at learning, thank you very much.

P.S. The idea came into my head a moment ago, it is a bit of a stretch, but assuming you have a paper Ordo Recitandi for 1865 I should be very grateful if you would consider photocopying it for me and sending it to me -- I should pay for postage and the library fees (where I live I have no facilities and use the local library).

Faithfully yours (if agreeable reply at peccatormarison@gmail.com)

PS. It is very sad to see the deep piety and devotion of Bury St. Edmunds in 1864 (and also very sad that I have never seen public Vespers in the SSPX in Scotland -- when did it cease to be regularly attended?) compared to the terrible state of the Church today.
