Please help!
I thought the perimeter quote was from a work by John Donne but can't find a "J" in the anagram of perimeter letters!!
( For those not doing this crossword, sorry but you need to see it to understand!!)
Can anyone enlighten me on ANYTHING about this?? I'm really struggling!
Apologies if this has been discussed before but I'm also having problems using the answer bank today!!! Ggrrrrr!

Would using only his surname help?
Question Author
I got John Donne from the clue.....
68a Anonymous plaintiff in US conceals name and number 28. (4,5)
John Doe with n (name) and n ( number) I don't know what 28 has to do with it but 28a is Clergyman about to go into study(4) DEAN.
In this crossword we are not told what the quote is around the perimeter but are told the source, title, its first word and author are in the main part of the crossword. This is maybe too much for my brain anyway!
Do you know the first word of the quote?
In 1621, Donne became dean of St. Paul’s Cathedral.
Question Author
Oh!? Dean does tie in then! No info on first word of quote and an anagram of all the letters on the perimeter is given but J doesn't feature and as it is one of the perimeter letters it needs to!!!
What are the letters of the anagram?
Question Author
Using his surname wouldn't fit in with the vague clues they've given.
Question Author
HIS THRAWN NHS NANNY MIGHT SAVE SMALL SON N FULL MOTHER FROM HERODS EVIL FRONT.
( That's the anagram letters!)
Checked OED of quotations but found nothing
Just about to be picked up to go out...

does this fit those letters?


//For love all love of other sights controls and makes one little room an everywhere//
No 'g' in the anagram letters Lynne.
No, it doesn't.
Question Author
I am so sorry guys but having re-read the instructions AGAIN, the anagram is of the UNCHECKED letters, so I don't think is an anagram of the quote.....Not enough letters having now counted them! 120 squares on the perimeter and 64 in the anagram! Ithink I'll have to give up on this, is so difficult to ask for help unless the person has the crossword, as it is very involved!
Think I'll crack open the stilton and port instead!
