Asking the Bishop for permission to have a series of lectures by Fr Vassal-Phillips in Attleborough, from Nov 24 to Dec 1st. Congregation is down to 3 (through deaths & departures) but Fr Phillips does not want to give it up and Fr VP has roused "slackers".
Manuscript annotation: "Granted. [illegible] PM Attleborough Nov 8 / 29."

If she took/built a house and provided a room for Mass, could the Bishop use this in some isolated place? She would provide equipment for a small chapel and give hospitality to the priest. Cannot pay his stipend or pay expenses; cannot build a chapel. Only afford to provide facilities for saying Mass every week and help in some way to develop a nucleus for a small mission. Refers to permission given by the Bishop for Mass in a little house at Burnham Overy when Fr Sebastian Ritchie of the Birmingham Oratory (a cousin) stayed. The nearest Mass was 7 miles away and 3 Catholics in the village were unable to get to the Sacraments - ".. this is the case all through your diocese." Going to South America for the Winter and not back until May. Please advise how she can help.
Postscript: "I am Mrs Reginald Balfour. I think you very probably knew my husband"
Manuscript annotation: "Wrote and told her about Attleborough to be served from Wymondham and asked her to communicate with Fr Phillips at Wymondham Oct 21 / 26."
