Scope and content
Letter of thanks to the Master for a cheque of £100 donated towards the repairs to the church. Birkett informs the Master that they are unable to carry out proper repairs to the tower, but he hopes that, because they have now inserted tie rods, that there is no danger of it falling down. He hopes to collect further funds, though his parishoners can contribute very little. Writes that the Diocesan Surveyors of Dilapidations have been re-elected for another year, because it was thought that more work might be done in that time, but Birkett is concerned about the percentage of the overall expenditure they are being paid.
