This Act establishes Registration of Births, Marriages and Deaths. The letter contains advice to clergy on the implications of the Act from 1 July 1937 when it comes into force. The existing parish registers are not affected but the civil recording of births deaths and marriages has to be completed via the civil authorities. Churches need to be registered for marriages otherwise they are nul and void. Penalties could be imposed; for example a fine of £10 if a funeral is not registered with the civil authorities prior to being performed.

With reference to the "Fathers of the Council of Trent"; the apostate Emperor Julian's persecution of the church and his forbidding of Chrisitans attending schools of grammar, philosophy or eloquence; the seizure of universtities and schools; fortunate that for the Catholics of the British Empire this no longer applies; each district has an episopal seminary; which are not well endowed. The Fathers consider the erection and proper endowment of episcopal colleges "a holy and pious work". Hence appointed collectors will call to solict assistance to support seminaries, establish and support missions and provide for the wants of local congregation members.

The cards are sent only as specimens which may easily be multiplied by parties as they want them. The Bishop is worried about the [theology?] whether it will answer remains to be seen. All depends on the Clergy." [unsigned]

printed pastoral letter - Dr William Wareing appointed Bishop of the Eastern District (which the pontifical brief says includes Lincoln, Rutland, Huntingdon, Northampton, Cambridge, Norfolk, Suffolk and Buckingham) "Looking at this extensive, and spiritually destitute (Rutland and Huntingdonshire have no place of Catholic worship; Cambridge, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire have one) tract of countrythat fall to my lot; where the means of carrying on religion are slender; where our churches are few, and our congregations small; where thousands are crying for bread, and there is no one to break it for them...". He plans to establish a seminary for the Eastern District.

An appeal for funds.
"In many instances our chapels are small , and inconvenient, encumbered with debt, and ill-provided with suitable requisites for divine worship. It grieves us also to state, as it will surely grieve all those who respect the ministers of Religion, to learn that in many cases our beloved Clergy are left to subsist on a
pittance smaller than what is offered to a repectable domestic; and that while their station requires of them a decent appearance, and the distress of the poor exhaust their means of relief, they are themselves, oftentimes, objects of charity." He wishes to establish an Eastern District Fund. He clarifies a misunderstanding that the Holy See, whilst having created more Vicariates, is not funding them and expects the Faithful to provide for them.
