Bishop responding to parishioners' letter asking for removal of Fr Dunleavy from the parish. Not a permanent appointment and the appointment of the Montfort Religious Fathers' Fr Lydiate is now arranged. He hopes parishioners will take Fr Lydiate into their affection. Unwell, the Bishop cannot yet visit the parish to give thanks to Fr Dunleavy & welcome Fr Lydiate. The house will now be put to better use with three priests staying there.

Letter to Bishop Parker describing state of Chatteris property which he visited "on my way home". Generally poor condition with much damp in the walls. Mr Dodds , Clerk of the Council and Secretary of the Friends Meeting Society (who are selling the chapel - valued at £250) showed him around and admitted no repairs done for 17 years. Builder in contention to buy would probably out bid the church. Canon Malone & Canon Hunting agree that they should not proceed further. So has stopped a bid and put Withams on standby. Fr Collins could not contact Fr Gaffney by telephone.
