Thomson, John Henry Rev RD (-1968)Mass at Leiston fine - no breakfast. Assist at 11am Mass in Aldeburgh and preach after Mass to give you the opportunity to get breakfast prior to the Visitation. Glad to be able to inaugurate the Guild of St Felix on Tuesday
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Suggest Aldeburgh visitation at 6.30pm before Confirmation as it's a bit of a strain to get to Leiston and back in time to do it all again at 11 in Aldeburgh.
Davidson, Charles Madgwick Rev DD BABishops suggests an informal Visitation at Leiston; formal at Aldeburgh.
Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Fr John Smith writes to say that the Visitation scheduled for 16 April [1978] will now take place on 19 November 1978, following Fr Thomson's willingness to reschedule.
Bishop's OfficeFr Davidson thanks the Bishop for his kindness during the Visitation. Sends a £38 cheque for expenses.
Thomson, David C Rev (-1998)Bishop thinks the programme is excellent. One request. He wishes to administer a Baptism in Brantham on 14 October (part of St Mark's parish, Ipswich). Ann has organised well and arranged supper on Saturday with John & Pauline Matthias - are you coming too?
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Regarding the alterations and extensions recently carried out at the church in Aldeburgh: inspection for faults as end of six-month maintenance period. Invite new priest to do the same. Have also written to Fr Jolly with enclosed copy of letter to builder.
Wearing & HastingsNot Fr Bull's letter of 9th and have contacted Reade's to ask them to explain the heating system to Fr Bull. Good to know that the outstanding items have been dealt with.
Wearing & HastingsRegarding request for instruction for the heating system in Aldeburgh Church. Not possible to compile a single set of instructions to cover the various applications of floor heating. Need to contact Christy Bros Ltd to confirm switch gear; then will forward notes.
Panelec (Great Britain) LtdSomeone has installed a time switch without reference to us. System is designed for intermittent use, as per their letter of 22 November 1956. Run for 2-3 hours prior to need, and off 1 1/2 hours before building vacated.
Panelec (Great Britain) LtdReades suggest best results from tell-tales will involve stripping back the plaster. Hastings agrees; some extra cost and some mess. Considers cracking to be long since "dead". Cost less than £50.
Wearing & HastingsRefers to Fr Bull's letter of 29th. Agree not to take action in the gallery - quite safe. Watch for further cracks.
Wearing & HastingsUnfortunately Mr Hastings is confined to bed with influenza - need to reschedule site meeting for another two or three weeks' time.
Wearing & HastingsArchitect writing to the builder to confirm works satisfactory and the start of a period for defects liability to July 16 1965
Wearing & HastingsPleased to hear from Canon Thomson that agreement has been reached for the garages. Mr Green, a local Contractor, will construct them. Please provide the deeds to support the lease and plans
