Still worth contacting the Education Committee with a view to getting them to reconsider/help towards the increase in travel costs.
Loftus, Nicholas MrFr Rudd showed him the correspondence and he is glad to hear the Bishop thinks the case will qualify for support. In the meantime Mr Loftus will press the Education Committee on the matter of these costs.

Sacra Congregatio de Religiosis (1908-)Correspondence regarding St Benet's, Beccles
Writer is retiring and moving to Beccles. She provides information and background about a priest staying with her and being cared for by her. Wonders if the Bishop has a place for him in the Diocese - she would continue to look after him.
CorrespondentDaughter allocated to John Leman school, Beccles, after passing examinations for entrance to a Grammar School. Contacted Chief Education Officer that their preferred school was St Mary's, Lowestoft. Following a means test she has to pay all fees but travelling fares are met by the committee and part of meal costs was offered. Are she being treated fairly?
CorrespondentGoing to Sudbury next week to take on a mission whilst Fr Heptonstall is recuperating abroad. Hopes the Diocese will not be split up as he hopes to learn about it. Helping Fr Campbell preach - likes it. Enjoyed his 3.5 months in Sheringham.

Bishop's OfficeResponse to bishop's letter
[Case 1:] thanks for letting him go ahead
[Case 2:] Documents seem to have disappeared on way to Australia hence priest there will not attend, not having seen the dispensation
Converts mentioned.
Two cases for the Bishop to give advice on:
Case 1: reception of a woman whose husband is not keen - can she be received privately?
Case 2: couple married in Australia (one a Catholic the other a Presbyterian) worried about there not having been a priest present
Apologises for his letter from before Christmas. No excuse for its folly and pettiness; whatever the circumstances.
