Currently drawing up a "Re-alignment of Responsibilities" and hence considering where to place Fr Dobson. Not in a supply role but in a place of his own. Bishop says that he is also in good health as a 75 year-old but which also implies retirement.

Fr Maddison asks on the bishop's behalf for additional information before being able to proceed further. Requests a letter of support from the Superior.

Ready to take up an appointment immediately. His superior will write. Provides some personal details about his work ethic and beliefs and a need to eat organic food and take healthy activity.

Asking if there is any work for him in the Diocese. Not looking for incardination and formalities will need to be done between his Superior and the Bishop. Currently supplying at SS John & Martin, Balsall Heath for Fr Carroll CSSp.

Outlines his work from 1958 in Nigeria; provides a quotation from Bishop brewer's letter (would like to but cannot employ him but he may wish to consider East Anglia). He is 63, can drive, active, healthy. Would like to be be considered for a country parish - cannot stand towns with their noise and pollution.
