Sr Rachel at Quidenham has written about an application from an Anglican Sister to enter Carmel. Should Fr Allen or the Bishop interview her?
He is in touch with Gary about the diocesan pilgrimage.
Profession is a very moving ceremony; enjoyed deputising for the Bishop. Arrange meeting to discuss religious - David Saunders, you and I. Will talk to Gary. Need some illumination for the National; ideas from you or the Shrine Council welcome.
Allen, Peter Rev SM BA MThPro-Nuncio's visit went well. Asked if he might close the Marian Year and formally bless the amenities area at the Shrine, he said he was happy to do this provided the Bishop was content with it. A Quidenham sister is looking for a period of exclaustration, Sr Rachel approves and so does he after speaking to the sister. Sr Jane's inheritance from her mother is now made over to Quidenham and is considering founding an inner0city monastic fraternity - prepared to wait for dispensation from Quidenham and Rome's approval. Being kept busy by an unrelenting pilgrim season but will put pen to paper about the praying community in Walsingham. The Knights of Malta let him use one of their houses for visiting seminarians to stay.
Allen, Peter Rev SM BA MThRaising the issue of St Martha's with the ministry. If the nuns are not enthusiastic about your school then better off without them. What future do they envisage for their independent school? Would they be prepared to undertake an aided secondary modern if the numbers are sufficient?
Brewer, Arthur T Rev BCL (-1972)Approach to managing interim payments via Mr Sauvain and the Architect. Suggest Mr Waite go back to Curaozon Street and discuss the plans - in a spirit of helpfulness. Will get the Finance Board's approval for the plan. The Loan Agreement will need all details of the School Managers - go via Mgr Hunting on this. Massingham Nuns would be best to secure but Swaffham nuns are very good and have a longer interest in the neighbourhood. Will write to Massignham Mother Provincial about a possible opening at King's Lynn.

Fr Davenport may be off to Pakistan and India.
manuscript postscript: "Sr Leonora has moved to another mission. I'm waiting to hear from her any day now"
Has been to Strood to see the sisters at work - impressed by them. The finances depend on the Chatham nuns buying the place as a going concern. He believes they will be successful after the first year. He mentions a "University Pilgrimage" which he thinks won't come off. He encourages the Bishop to visit to show / demonstrate solidarity with him as parish priest.
Davidson, Charles Madgwick Rev DD BAThe Cardinal, a patron of the nuns [Serafini?], is visiting Woodbridge and lunching at Aldeburgh. Can the Bishop attend for lunch on 24th? heard from Canon Tonks. Does not need funds raised from sale of land; considers the house is sufficient and needs a little work. Hence the request for a mortgage of £100 to enable him to address the house and grounds.
Manuscript annotation: "Answered. Sorry cannot come to lunch on 24th. You must do the honours for the Card. If you can do without more money then I shall be grateful. The money for sale of old [indecipherable] , Normanhurst land go towards purchase of Normanhurst; U.S. Maryland[?] goes towards old liabilities. Fr Long will be no good to you for a long time."
Encloses reception forms for two people under instruction for last six months.
Abbot Egan and others speak highly of the Oblates of St Benedict who could take on a house, Eaton Lodge, for a school. It has enough rooms, grounds and a separate street entrance. Two nuns visited and are pleased with the house. Fr Davidson can guarantee their rent for three years, He has asked them to write to the Bishop. Asks the Bishop to approve of the foundation which could be in place by the time the church opens.
Manuscript PS: "It is a fact that a man from Yorkshire is coming to see the house next week and is not the usual estate agent stunt."
Manuscript annotation: "Answered. Written to Bishop Brown and Abbot Egan. Let me have any other letters you may have about them. Feb. 2/25."
Possible pressure to be brought on the (wealthy) Chatham nuns to buy the property in Strood. Cannot guarantee attendance numbers but the Ursulines (still missed by people here) drew on Saxmundham, Leiston, Thorpe and Orford - so there could be between 20 and 50.
