£300 loan from Mr Dwyer was made with an agreement that he could draw on it as he deposited it when he was in hospital with a collapsed lung. His wife and children would not have received National Assistance had it not been spent. Now discharged and fit for light work.

Thanks for appointment to Gorleston - hard to leave Southwold. Financial position regarding the debt at Halesworth. No outstanding debt on the church; need to repay the £1580 loan received from parishioners. Canon Hunting and he have made arrangements for money to be paid [regarding general interest] amounting to £300 per year without troubling Fr Rudd. £60-£70 in the bank with an average collection of £9 between now and Christmas.
McBride, Edward Rev (1919-2011)£300 loan from Mr Dwyer was under special condition. Will enquire about it. If £76-11-1 was subtracted from what is owing me the rest could be paid out. But can wait another year for the £76. The widow of Dr Stephen can be contacted through his son in Lowestoft.

Describes the arrangements for repaying the loans to the parishioners - slight changes in totals as some had been made as gifts. Fr Rudd aware and content.
McBride, Edward Rev (1919-2011)Building the new church in Halesworth will require funding of £3000 to £4000. Suggest a loan scheme in which the parishioners offer an interest free loan repayable over five years.
