requesting a dispensation to marry Caplan Valon, an officer of the Tank Corps, to Agnes Macdonald, an Australian. Fr Pace has moved on to Wardens Castle - no replacement yet. The year is the 75th anniversary of the Church (and that of the restoration of the Hierarchy). He would like to have a mission and perhaps the Bishop could rededicate the church and attend a confirmation later in the year, Autumn. Tomorrow he is giving a Triduum at Holy Rood Convent, 1 Gloucester Road, Regent's Park, London. Relates a story about a question set in a General Knowledge test: "What do the letters SJ after a name indicate? Only one answer attempted and that was 'Steeple Jack!'". A post script refers to Fr John H Pollen who has been staying with him and who has dementia. He has "quite gone" and is placed in a home - a loss to the English Martyrs Cause.

Fr Thompson is to be absent until 9th September running 4 retreats in London - a strain but "needs must when the rate collector drives". Fr Hughes is going to Gorleston, hope his health holds up. Ask the Bishop to come for Confirmation in the Autumn and they are also celebrating 75th anniversary of the opening of the church on 20 September. The church is being completely repainted by the men now.
