Bishop writes: Glad to hear Fr Lydiate is arranging a Mission with the Redemptorists; but do ensure he gets a hall large enough. Bishop's itinerary includes staying with Ollard in Wisbech & before that in Cambridge. Asks Fr Lydiate to be confessor for Wisbech Convent.
Parker, Thomas Leo Rev (1887-1975)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.
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)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.
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Builder getting on well with new presbytery. 1st payment nearly due. Hopes Ollard has sent cheque for 2 houses, all money is paid in.
Bishop annotation: "1st I heard about Presbytery being started! Will pay nothing out until officially informed money all paid in & made over to me! Do not pay what you realised by concert"
He had given Ollard full instructions re money. Saw him again & he had forgotten what Fr Clare had told him & deposited money at bank. Said he would put matters right at once. Only made £11 as expenses very heavy. Better than nothing.
Clare, Wallace George Rev FRSA, FIGRS (1895-1963)Thanks him for wires received. Levett willing to pay £1450 for property. Hopes he will not change his mind. Ollard will see him this morning as Fr Clare sent details re price last night. He is feeling much better at present. Margate contact address is "Berkely House, Dalby Square, Margate".
