Sisters came 23 July 1903 and for 3 or 4 months had a Dominican or secular priest for all the services. Bishop Riddell then sent Fr Garnett, requesting them to provide £40 per year (plus collection money from the Convent Chapel). Masses were held at the priest's house and when the "little church was opened" services were held their instead. 18 months ago Fr Garnett wanted a rest on Saturdays and masses would be held instead at the Church on a Monday. The writer lists all that they do (including pay the stipend) - there are only 9 parish people. The Bishop is asked to establish a regular service to the Sisters for good order at the Convent.

Good midnight Mass attendance & 30 communicants. Not well - ulcerated stomach. Money is very difficult; been covering costs out of own pocket, but cannot now; he requests a loan of £25 to relieve the strain until Summer. Trying to get another foreign boy who could help in the season. Young Le Strange (from the Hall in Hunstanton) has been a regular Sunday Mass attendee for 3 months and it is possible he could be received in to the church; there is another well known person under instruction. His efforts are hampered by this "miserable High Church movement", which keeps a lot away from the Church, "what a ghastly mockery of the Church it is, yet intelligent people swallow it."

Fr Garnett has the funds for a Presbytery - a friend has promised £1,000. Compares his approach with the Cromer house and church. Expects to build: Dining room & study; WC next to larder; window near the porch; no back staircase; 5 bedrooms instead of seven. The presbytery would be given to the Diocese and Fr Garnett will be responsible for all funding and costs. This is a variation to the present scheme which will deliver Boys' Sacristy, Priest's Sacristy and Reception room next to the house. Must have a housekeeper's room - details what it would be used for, especially to give the housekeeper her own space.
If the Bishop could reply by return then Fr Garnett will catch the early Tuesday train to London to see the Architect.

Personal Loan from the Finance Board; will increase insurance policy from £75 to £100; Canon Tonks to fill in the form and send to Century Insurance in Ipswich. Not at all well. Lady Winefride has invited him to stay - so he will go one Sunday in Lent. Can the Poor Mission Fund do something for Hunstanton. "I have had a rotten time & am likely to while the war lasts & even afterwards for a time while people recover the strain on their resources."

Sending Canon Tonks the premium for the policy. Going on retreat at St Edmunds given by Fr Hugh Pope OP, Prior of Woodchester, a nice man I am told. "... retreats, usually depress me & do me no good I fancy...". Fr Cameron is here and it's a good opportunity as Old Hall is nearer and less expensive than further afield. "Fr Parker must have had a bad smash as I hear he can't say Mass yet."

Whilst staying with friends near Hunstanton he received a call that Fr Flynn was ill and could he go to him. Fr Flynn has gastritis, nervous breakdown and is being attended to by a doctor. He will not be able to do Sunday Mass - hence request for Peterborough to cover Wisbech whilst Fr Page looks after Hunstanton. Fr Flynn had concocted a story to cover his being ill in bed and unable to to answer the [door] bell whilst the Housekeeper was away. He is not absent and regrets the tale, having seen the letter sent by the Bishop [checking on his whereabouts].

Nobody about as the works is off for 10 days and all have gone on holiday. Leaving Wellingborough for Hunstanton and will stay for a few days as full of visitors who come for daily mass. Will be discrete in sounding people out so as not to give away his real objective. If Fr Flynn is at home then why no notice posted on the church door? He thinks something is not right and will see the Bishop when he leaves. Fr Hyde can stay till he returns [at Wellingborough?]

Fr Flynn has had a thorough nervous breakdown and is in a very weak state. Not been well since he came to Hunstanton and was steadily getting worse. Agree that he must go away for a fortnight - suggest with Fr Squirrell for ten days. Fr Garnett suggests he stays in Hunstanton for that time to take care of things and explain to the congregation. Can the Bishop make arrangements for Wellingborough? Is he content with the suggestions?
postscript: "Father Flynn wish me to express his apology & regret that he is not yet in a fit state to write to you a full explanation in answer to your enquiry, but will do so later."
Annotation at top of first page: "Wire - Bishop consents to arrangement proposed."
