Congratulating Fr Malone [success not described] and saying it's been an anxious time but without the trouble it would have meant less. Have a good holiday. Canon Tonks will take care of business.

Do take advantage of the dispensation - do not take risks with your health. Well done regarding the land; tell Canon Tonks of any other interest.

Enclose cheque for £1000 being sale price of March Presbytery & land. Asks him to send cheque to Ollard (less £450 mortgage). Suspects Canon forgot to tell Ollard about sending money to Bishop. Found by chance that new presbytery is being built. Money came promptly when Fr Clare told off ("washed his head"). Suspects Ollard overworked with his brother incapacitated.

His action on cheques to Ollard. The stained glass windows arrived yesterday but no candlesticks. Fear they must have been sold at the Sale. What a nuisance! Thanks for congrats on anniversary of consecration, wishes someone else had had the honour.

Bishop Cary quotes a letter to Fr Delaney dated 19/12/1919 from Bishop Keating. In it the £110 from Sr Superior (Ursulines) for 4 annual Masses and a commemorative tablet in the new [Aldeburgh] church has been invested by the Board of Finance. It is the wish of the community that £50 given to Canon Tonks last August should be added to the larger sum and used for the Endowment or Building Fund. Bishop Keating is willing for the surplus to be used as such but notes that she does not wish it to be used the temporary Oratory.
Bishop Cary directs Canon Tonks to look at the books at about or anterior to that date.

Outlines rent, conditions, charges for hirer for Canon Tonks with respect to Crockerhill.

Returns the collections book as requested. Does not think Canon Tonks has any to lend. Is there a desperate need to hurry? Better to keep the Army Hut for entertainments. Keeping well in this rather trying muggy weather?

The £5 gift is for his outing - not not tell anyone else. Bishop wil also arrnage for the supply - but keep it "between ourselves". Spoken to Tonks and satisfied that the St Neots building is worth getting - limit is up to £500.
