Enclosed letter describes a situation on which Fr Sloan requests guidance. A divorcee "re-married" some time after her divorce has been taken Communion and had her confession heard. She is elderly and her husband expects marital relations. She would like to have Communion - that is the problem.

Ruling on a mixed marriage issue - groom cannot sign to bring up the children in the Catholic faith. What are the Bishop's views on girls serving Mass? (Apparently Fr Little at Beccles allows it). Include a copy of a church history [not present] written by Fr Sloan; also has a letter by Fr Howarth about Canon Mason's last hours - but last page missing.

Will be 71 in August and wishes to resign. Finding the demands of 5 week-end masses, 4 hospitals, driving to Halesworth are too much. Offered a home by a couple and would like to give an answer by June 20th.

The Finance Board do not meet until May - need permission to have repair work done on the tower. Canon McBride suggest write to the Bishop and obtain permission post-event. Cost is £4250 to make the tower as good as new. £8000 held by the Diocese for us, so can afford it. Jeremy Rafe, a young architect, will supervise; he is qualified though not a member of ARIBA. The work will be done by Woods and Sons who are currently working on St Johns.

Estimate regarding the clock - £200. Would like to sell it (need the money) but will accede if the Bishop says it should go to Mrs Sykes.
Tell-tales have been placed to register movement in the stonework. Mr Taylor, the builder, thinks movement has stopped. Redecoration would be about £1000 and it should be done at this time of the year. If allowed then it will start after Christmas.

Encloses details [not present] of work done on presbytery and sacristy. A lot need to be done to make the place habitable - and there are three rooms yet to do. Fr Pritchard had done much when here - what it was like before...? Still more to do. Church at Halesworth not been touched since it was built 17 years ago.
