Note of questions (all ticked) received from Fr Sloan

1. 5pm arrival
2. Bishop to offer Mass - donor of the new tabernacle would be delighted
3. Stay for tea - presume Bishop to have evening meal in Great Yarmouth

Canon Gerard Collins writes: Lease with Mr Stebbings. Need clarity from Fr Mossey over the intention of the tenant to pay extra rent for a renewal? Bishop concerned that offering an additional seven years at £50 per year may not be best value for money in the long term. Furthermore better not to commit when the future of Halesworth is not clear. But if Stebbings threatens to clear out then, provided the Chapter agreed, the Bishop would accept the seven years.
Typed annotation: Addressed to John [Fr Mossey] from Bill [Canon Hunting] Sending the letter onwards (please return) to save writing. Questions lease value and term - £1 p.w for a shop is not a lot.

Bishop delighted to do as asked. Suggests a visit on Saturday 13 November and then going on for his visitation in Yarmouth.

Fr John Smith says the Bishop is in Southwold for Saturday 13 November and so can't get to Yarmouth before 8pm on 13th. Makes a number of adjustments / clarifications for the programme.

Copy of Mrs Gordon's wishes for the money left in her will to the Archbishop of Westminster:
£500 is to go to Southwold Mission for completion of the High Altar - masses for her husband and herself;
For the erection on altar & tabernacle at some poor mission - our souls to be remembered;
Remainder to be divided between:
Convent of Poor Clares, Manchester;
Fr G Lester's Fund for "Our Lady's Young Priests";
Fr Berry's Homes (The Liverpool Catholic Children's Protection Society).
Trusts that the Archbishop will carry out these wishes.
