Scope and content
Sisters came 23 July 1903 and for 3 or 4 months had a Dominican or secular priest for all the services. Bishop Riddell then sent Fr Garnett, requesting them to provide £40 per year (plus collection money from the Convent Chapel). Masses were held at the priest's house and when the "little church was opened" services were held their instead. 18 months ago Fr Garnett wanted a rest on Saturdays and masses would be held instead at the Church on a Monday. The writer lists all that they do (including pay the stipend) - there are only 9 parish people. The Bishop is asked to establish a regular service to the Sisters for good order at the Convent.

Note
Letter date is uncertain. The writer refers to the late Dr Riddell, who died in September 1907, assigning Fr Garnett to them. The writer also refers to Fr Garnett making a decision after 18 months - which at the earliest would make the date mid-1909.
