2 letters from parishioners to the Bishop about the over long time taken for the repairs on the Hall - from Easter to then, November - ingress of water and the general impact on its use. The Bishop replies to both (same letter) and then writes to the builders (Mr Keith Butler of Povell, Flood & Wilson, LVE Buildings, Jarrom Street, Leicester) about something being radically wrong and needing to be attended to urgently. He is sure Fr Shannon has been in touch.

Mr Chas A Christmas ("Elmbank", Leiston, Suffolk) says that Fr Delaney is still unable to write. He encloses an account and asks the Bishop if he can write-off £130 debt on the church account. The opening of the church has brought great happiness and awakened a new spirit towards one another and to the priest.

Side 1: Writer complains of being omitted from events within Walsingham. This may be as a consequence of an event [unspecified] for which an apology was given and promises made. However the lack of inclusion continues and has been observed generally and she is the subject of gossip. Asks the Bishop to ensure fair treatment.
Side 2: A manuscript oath witnessed by a solicitor regarding the nature of the complaint mentioned in side 1

Jane [no address or surname provided], as a member of the Architecture Committee of the East Anglia Liturgical Commission, has to comment in that role without favour to the parish. Julian Limentani agrees with these comments: the proposed new Altar front must be simple (bare or only a cross), no icons. Parish pastoral committee should be consulted.

Mr A H Cox writing on behalf of the parish committee at St Peter's. Fr Tom confirmed his departure yesterday at their meeting. Naturally there is a concern for the community, which behaves as a parish even if it is not one. A resident priest has been a great advantage but if one cannot be found then they'd welcome the opportunity to talk to the Bishop about it.
