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.

A hut (20ft x 68ft) is available for £90; fund available about £35; aware of another hut (120ft x 20ft) for £180 excluding transport and re-erection. Both huts will be sold soon if no action taken.
