Bishop returns drawing of Altar. He does not like it; it is too like a couple of boxes. Those he showed it to thought it was a vestment chest & liked it as such. But, if Fr Clare wants it, has found money for it & subscribers like it, he can have it.

Fr Page reports that Canon Eeles is making progress but it is very slow. Despite that he is attempting to do more than he should and resents people telling him to rest. Stopped by Fr Page from hearing Confessions on a Saturday. He is concerned about Holy Week and Easter Sunday – things will be missed for the first time in years. Asks the Bishop to intervene with kind words to Canon Eeles about not taking on too much. The doctor believes the Canon should have a change of scenery and get away as soon as possible. Some congregation members have collected £25 towards expenses for this. Obtaining a supply is proving difficult and he is now approaching the Benedictines in Farnborough but a wire to Hitchin has produced a result. All this is kept from the Canon. The doctor says the Canon’s heart is not healthy and extra care is required. The renowned Fr Clare is visiting at Wisbech.
p.s. Not seen Fr Flynn but understand he is better and has said mass the last two Sundays.
Manuscript annotation: “Answered: Thanks. Have written to the Dr. & told Eeles to do what he is told, even to going away; & that he must have arrangements in your hands – nto to bother. Mch 26/26.”

Postcard showing a school boy group with a priest sitting in centre. Alice Askew was a photographer in March from 1916 until she retired in 1953. It is possible that this is a photograph of the boys at Fr Clare's school in the 1920s. He did require a particular type of uniform to be worn.

Forwards Fr Clare's letter [re plan, etc.]. He would decline offer. Repeats that present houses & land are great asset for diocese. Considers Fr Clare's chopping and changing not helpful.
Bishop annotation: "consider offer good, all for £1410. Dry rot in house, no bathroom, W. C arrangements rotten. New presbytery near Church would be great advantage."
