The Abbot accepts the role as trustee for the endowment from Mr Banham's will.
manuscript annotation: "Wrote thanking. Also to RE Banham saying Abbot Ramsey accepted to act as trustee and to say that, subject to Fr Worswick's approval, appointed Dr Helsham. Also wrote to Fr Worswick telling him of the arrangements."

The notes contain the proposals for the trustees for the Banham £1000 endowment:

1. The Bishop of Northampton is always a trustee
2. The Abbot of Downside (or an OSB appointee) is the second for as long as the Beccles remains a Benedictine mission - goes to Northampton Diocese if that ceases
3. A lay trustee from Beccles congregation in consultation with the Beccles' rector and Bishop of Northampton.
   Write to RE Banham, the Abbot of Downside to this effect.
