Fine for Mr Nicholls to check out the building - but do not like the idea of him being the architect for a rebuild - does want him to be misemployed carrying out his "fads". Prefers Mr Lunn as he knows the site.
p.s. Mr Hains of Newmarket is dangerously ill and asks for a prayer from the Bishop.

James [?] has written to the PPs at King's Lynn and Newmarket regarding pipe organs.
King's Lynn: Fr Wace's intention to replace a pipe organ with an electronic instrument is not welcome and he should ask for the writer to visit him to discuss the matter.
Newmarket: Fr Kennedy is aware that the matter is not that urgent and he could have a small but adequate pipe organ - thus avoiding the uneccessary step of installing an electroinc organ. Fr Kennedy is contacting Millar Organ Company of Norwich for a loan of an electroinnc instrument.

Apologising for missing Maundy Thursday Mass - Ceolfrid's death and others in Beccles with a number possibly dying - makes it difficult to leave Beccles just yet. However, will be with the Bishop in Newmarket in May. Don't need propping up nor a good "propper". Fr Tony Roberts seems to be a dying man.
Watkin, Aelred Rev MA FSA FRSA FRHistS (1918-1997)Nothing to forgive - if there were then would give absolution immediately. Feel the loss of Ceolfrid too. Chrism mass well attended. Good month in Australia. Thanks for looking after Fr Tony Roberts. Glad Stephen is appointed and bedding in well.
Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Given by Fr Dowsey: The assistant priest at Newmarket is now on indefinite leave from the diocese after discussions with Bishop Clark.

Clark, Alan Charles Rev DD (1919-2002)Fr Hypher has returned to Southampton. Asking about the management of the various moves being planned - who has been told, when and about what? Particularly wishes to handle the changes at Beccles to properly explain the situation to the parish there. He has spoken to Tony Rogers [and another Tony] who agree that an announcement soon would be best.
Hypher, Paul Augustine RevMrs Dora Cowton writes. Have received the photographs and will add them to the Travelling Mission notes already held. Provides dimensions for the altar with a description. Fr Fears cannot explain how the altar came to be in Brandon. The previous priest Fr Ivan Rudkin has died; Fr Antony Philpot was PP at Bury St Edmunds and served Brandon, which was also served from Newmarket where Fr Peter Leeming was one of the priests - should she write to them?

Before leaving the UK, the group had a Sending Mass at Our Lady Immaculate and St Etheldreda in Newmarket, where Bishop Peter Collins said: 'It is the duty of the young to show enthusiasm, to be filled with vigour, physically and spiritually'".
