Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)Glad to hear Fr Heptonstall was not seriously injured in the accident. Sisters' Confessions are permitted provided a screen is rigged up between him and the penitent. Very few sea coast resort priests can get away during their season - so permission for a private retreat. Enclosed small cheque [for £5] for 10 masses for private intentions.

Cary-Elwes, Dudley Charles Rev (1868-1932)OK for Exposition. Be sure to have sufficient watchers especially when you'll be away for a large part of the day. The boy is too young to take on just yet but keep an eye on him.
