Fr Phillips had bid £500 for one and three quarters of an acre of meadow close to the Church - apparently without gaining Diocesan permission - now bid has transferred to Fr Ketterer. The Post Office's bid has been accepted for £300 for three quarters of an acre. The remainder would be suitable for a church and presbytery. Canon Squirrell knows of this and suggested writing to the Bishop to explain the position. This is a useful bit of land; can he bid around £350 for it? Since the Bishop is in Norwich that week he can come and see it.

Fr Ketterer has not hear the results of the sale but presumes that the "Elms" is now in Diocesan possession - he and his parishioners thank the Bishop for that. He wonders if he should be giving up the leases on Church and Presbytery, or, if the Bishop intends to use the property as his summer residence. Fr Ketterer alludes to several issues but will not bother the Bishop with his "tales of woe", Canon Squirrel will hear them instead.

Writes to Monsignor (assumed to be Canon Tonks): Receipt for Bishop's generous gift to the Mission enclosed. Post Office has acquired the piece of meadow, rendering the site too narrow for Church & Presbytery. Describes the nature of planned expansion in Wymondham. Has identified a site 10 minutes walk from current address. Has obtained pews & chairs for the two churches in Wymondham and Dereham. Increased seating accommodation, more dignified and silent when congregation sit or stand.
