Scope and content

Fr Wilson apologies to Bishop for not getting his returns back earlier; the Canon had spoken to him. Fr Wilson asks for advice on the situation that now faces him with regard to the Studio (bought by Mr Pauling at the start of the Mission). Let by Fr Ketterer to Mr Smith, who died in June, for 3 or 5 years at £10 per annum. Mr Smith has sub-let to Mr Cotman for 3 years at £20 a year from last Michaelmas. When Fr Wilson came last February, the rent had not been paid. Mr Smith's affairs were bankrupt and so the offer was 7/- in the £, which was accepted by the creditors. The rent was paid on 1st December. Mr Day made a proposal over the rent but Fr Wilson did not understand what was being said even after several attempts at requesting clarification. The Studio had been let to the County Council for cookery lessons and some expenses have arisen from that with other repairs. Fr Wilson thinks this should all be settled prior to him taking back the lease. Perhaps a letter from the Diocesan Solicitor might elicit a clearer explanation from Mr Day (who "... has a pretty general reputation for sharp practice...").
