Fr Cowin sends details of the night storage heaters installed in Wymondham Church. The Bishop's mention of the chaplaincy at St Joseph's interests Fr Cowin a lot and he would like to take it up soon. He will say the two masses daily and save the Christian Brothers from having to replace Fr Clare. Having his mother to live with him would not increase his expenses and she is happy to go with him.

Fr Hulme had decided to unpack his books, so Fr Ketterer, to save him work, had to advise him that an appointment would be made soon. Enclosing insurances for both churches and that covering the Housekeeper's property. Should he send on that covering his own property and that in the Presbytery?

Children and congregation looking forward to Bishop's visit in September.

Mr Butler, an Architect, has not yet met the Bishop but has met his two predecessors. when at Burnham Overy, Norfolk. A year ago Fr Ketterer asked him to Wymondham. Mr Butler has subsequently spent many hours designing a church for Wymondham and for Dereham (a particularly difficult site). This he did for a token fee of £10 paid by Fr Ketterer. Mr Butler designed the church at Wells-next-the-Sea. He now understands that the Bishop is not pleased but he has no intelligence of what has happened to his design work since sending it off. This is not about pride, but as an architect with experience in Churches, Country homes, Oxford Colleges and monuments, he would like to know what is happening; perhaps a little recognition and hope that the plans are not lost.
