RONALD KNOX'S NEW TESTAMENT

SIR.—Your correspondent Quentin de If Bedoyere quotes my husband's St. Matthew in support of the Catholic doctrine of the perpetual virginity of Our Lady. This I know was one of his own deep beliefs, and he held that it was not against the text (I can- not help thinking how less than pleased he would have been to be described as a non-Catholic!)
