Requesting a collection for the Poor School Committee on 24th inst. This is in response to an encyclical requesting support.
Wareing, William Rev (1791-1865)Mr Dalton has been working hard to secure a site on which to build a convent for the Sisters of the Infant Jesus who have been brought over from Belgium. Recent appeals for funds have meant the work has not been able to commence. But with £1000 promised, a further £500 can be raised by a tax of one shilling per head (sixpence for those not able to afford that), it would be possible to progress the work ourselves.

Pope Pius IX has returned to Rome after his exile - every church shoudl sing the "Te Deum" and change the prayers.
addressed to "The Very Reverend / F C Husenbeth / Cossey / Norwich"
The Eastern District has been criticised for its lack of public spirit and exertion with regard to its support for the Poor School Committee - however, these are very small and poor congregations. Clergy can use the letter [not generally for the public] to stimulate zeal and liberality. Pope has allowed indulgences to begained subject to the stated conditions.

Adjustments to the prayers in Mass now that the "raging pestilence of cholera... is now removed from our doors". Fasting and abstinence will now be resumed on the appointed days.
Wareing, William Rev (1791-1865)Suggests prayers be said until the end of the month for the "abundant harvest" - a delivery of the people from the recent scourge.
addessed to "The Very Rev. F C Husenbeth / Cossey / Norwich"
"... times of especial exigience - there are days of trial, and gloom, and anxiety, and sad foreboding - when clouds of adversity seem to lower..."
".. a deep laid plot for the extermination of Catholic faith and piety..."
"Some of the fairest portions of Europe are at this moment a prey to civil war, and all its attendant horrors."
"... the Destroying Angel is passing through the earth..."
".. where is Cholera likely to rage more fearfull."
Urges "dear Christians" to pray for three intentions:
- For God to guide and support the church and Pope Pius IX;
- For the restoration of peace;
- That scourges of famine and pestilence be removed.

Part 1: suspends the need for fasting and abstinence during the "dreadful scourge of Cholera".
Asks [Dr Husenbeth] to communicate this to the priests of Norwich and Mgr Taylor of Thetford. Writing so because of a delay in documents returning from Rome.
Has appealed to the Pope to allow fewer [no?] meetings as most priest live more than 100 miles away and it is not practicable to call meetings in the current circumstances. Despite Monsignor Bernabo refusing to present it to the pope, Bishop Wareing will proceed anyway. Perplexed and distressed by the state of Lord Shrewbury's affairs. Cannot keep borrowing £217 per year to keep missions afloat. "Our poor diocese was never in a more embarrassing and trying position"
With the cessation of Cholera requests the Te Deum to be said or sung after mass. fasting/abstinence duties resume.
