Precis: A call to a synod of all clergy over whom the Bishop has direction/control to come to the church in Northampton on 1st July 1920 at 8am so that afterwards they may prepare. He commands that from the 3rd Sunday of Pentecost until the synod, that the Commemoration of the Holy Spirit be recited in all Masses in a manner of rejoicing.

[Unfortunately the rational for this meeting / synod is not given in the letter. It is thought that the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in June, which denotes the official ending of the First World War, may be the reason for this gathering]
