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.

Re Prospectus. Not school in strict sense. He takes only abnormal boys for supervision & treatment. The "Prospectus" is a camouflage to save the feelings of parents of mental boys whose friends might find out that they are in March. Reports good progress of one pupil. Pupils medically examined. Once cure effected boys can be taught by qualified teacher. Apologises for thoughtlessness. Always anxious to make right any wrong.

Young RC man (George Joseph Ringham, 22) working away, wishing to marry protestant girl (Hilda Cook, 22). Fr Clare sent form to priest & asked him to witness promises. As letters are delayed by general strike would Bishop grant dispensation. Bad days - whole of March is on strike.
