Part of St Joseph Parish, St Neots, Cambridge

Stretching the Ransomer's gift a long way. Vestments all hand-me-downs form wealthier mission - glad to get them - but not all worth of Mass. Delighted that the Bishop will come to open the church; distressed to hear of the Bishop being ill. Although Canon Youens mentions good recovery. So cold in St Neots that the car's engine froze during mass and the radiator burst.

Part of Our Lady and St Thomas of Canterbury Parish, Wymondham

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.

Part of Our Lady and St Peter Parish, Aldeburgh

Miss Wheeler has written to Teresa Bragger about the mistreatment she has had at the hands of the nuns in Aldeburgh, Eaton House. T Bragger commiserates with her plight, cannot understand why she has been placed so far away and not in a Cottage Hospital in Aldeburgh. She recognises the overbearing behaviour of the Reverend Mother (Cecilia) and the injustice of it all. Understands that talking to Fr Davidson is not helpful since he is completely subdues by the Rev. Mother. She suggests writing to the Bishop, talking to Fr Flanagan and moving to a boarding house in Leiston. She will write back via Mrs Irwin to avoid the nuns getting hold of the letter.

T Bragger asks Miss Wheeler to write and let her know if things are better. If not she will write to the Bishop. Sorry to know that Miss Irwin will not go to the convent any more. Go see Fr Flanagan often. Fr Davidson is controlled by Rev Mother Cecilia and probably thinks she is behaving honourably.

Begging the Bishop to remove Fr Flanagan. in 11 months he has alienated very member of his flock in Aldeburgh and Leiston. His manner is ruse, violent and insulting. Fr Flanagan is described not as a shepherd but as a ravening wolf amongst the flock. Mr McDowell mentions both Canon Peacock and Canon Marshall who will vouch for his steadfastness.
