Scope and content

The Duke (Henry Fitzalan Howard 15th Duke of Norfolk) will provide aid for the Congress (3rd National Catholic Congress held in Norwich in 1912) but has advised to hold off for an application until after Christmas. £5 spent on chapel at Diss, which will be more comfortable in consequence.
Wymondham accommodation offers: 1. hotel room for £30 per annum; 2. Old brush factory - very large - £15 plus upkeep; 3. ("providential") Sketch attached - hobby build but most "ecclesiastical" - £40 (Canon prefers £35 )
Canon describes the last offer at length. An organ builder and Registrar of Births, who was most interested during the motor mission, heard of their difficulties and offered his building which is done up like a Catholic church: decent organ to be left, water stoup, capable of 60 person seating, considerable amount of oak from the old Abbey worked into it. (sketch attached). What to do? Would like to close the offer at once.
Mr Jermingham is trying to get the Beckett Memorial Chapel - but odds are against it as the vicar wants to rent it and he is on the board!
