I was interested to find your argument in favour of the English being far more Britons than Saxons, and I feel sure you are right. A populous nation, such as England must have been after nearly four hundred years of Roman occupation and peaceful development, could not possibly have been exterminated by bands of invaders coming over sea in the small vessels of the time, to say nothing of the fact that they brought few or no women, so that of they had killed all the men we should still be half British! I am inclined to think we must really be five-sixths of British or Celtic blood.
