Scope and Content
"My cold (which I thought was getting better yesterday, so I got up & wrote 12 letters) seems worse this morning - a general thickening-up in head, throat & chest: so I am in bed again, Dr Barnes is coming later. So I called for pen & ink to cope with correspondence, & I must answer your questions.
Christmas trees have arrived, & are at the back of the church in buckets of water. I expect Perton will fix them up - I think we ought to get the Bishop's Appeal list up in the porch this weekend. Do you think you could get it out of Jack Burgess? On Sunday he said it was ready apart from a picture he needed to stick on it! I told him I'd find a picture if he let me have it. But perhaps you can, if I'm not up & about. (With Sunday looming ahead I am wondering whether to try to contact Fr. Bennett today.) Then you had better fill in the names in the spaces. (Miss S. Oldfield has sent in her name). I have a pencil with a ring on it which can be attached to the list. We will stick to Jan. 5th for the Children's Festival, & I shall have to put off the Confirmation Class till February. I should petition the office at L. Allens for more envelopes during January if more don't arrive.
What a mix-up! - snow falling, me tied to bed, car out of action (Baber has just gone off to Bedford with Miss Di), all my Christmas letters piling up - & here's the Doctor!
Yours sincerely,"
