..."During the horrors of the Cholera Morbus in the land in the last year, as you no doubt read in the daily reports on the subject, the town and neighbourhood of Bilston suffered most severly from its virulent attackes. Husbands torn from wives, children bewailing the loss of their parents, whole families sick, dying at the same time, funerals in every direction, deserted houses, consternation in each countenance, presented a melancholy and appalling spectacle! Upwards of three hundred orphans have been left on the parish."
Continues to say that had there been a Catholic chapel then it would have been easier to administer to the sick of Bilston and neighbourhood. A 300 signature petion has been laid before the Bishop - but they have no finances to support such an endeavour. However, he goes on "..through the piety of three benevolent individuals a sum for the purchase of a piece of land and nearly adequate for the annual support of the prieset has been generously offered to us. Our object is to obtain resources for the erection of a respectable chapel and of a chapel house."
