Thanking Bishop for dealing with Padre Pio matter. Lucian, Romanian seminarian at Oscott, wants to take a 1 year M Phil at Birmingham University. Not being an "EC" student, the course fees are £6000 and the college will only pay £2000. Lucian's efforts to gain additional funding have not worked. Fr Kerby, considering St Ives is well off, asks if they could pay £2000 to assist? This degree would help Lucian in Romania as he'd be qualified to teach.

Fr Kerby thanks the Bishop for consenting to him contributing to Lucian's University Fees. Also includes Lucian's postcard expressing his gratitude.

Fr Kerby is looking forward to meeting James Fyfe. He has written to the South American couple explaining the situation and to say they are welcome to use the front room in the Presbytery, if they wish to have somewhere to stay. Lucian ?, the Romanian is back in Romania and is waiting for his M Phil results from Birmingham University. He is still not ordained, his bishop is taking exception to him getting married, despite being of the Eastern rite.

Lucian writes to the Bishop thanking him for his support in Lucian's studies. He promises to do his best here and in Romania. He hopes one day that the Bishop will be able to visit and receive their hospitality and prayers.
