Letter from Michael [Ramsey] (1904-1988), archbishop of Canterbury. Felt the Church Union Congress did a lot of good; the bishop of Buckingham [Christopher Pepys] might be more reliable than [Evered] Lunt, bishop of Stepney as chairman of the Prisons Chaplaincies Council.

Letter from Morris Gelsthorpe, 29th July 1948. Clarification of 100. The Bishop of Worcester was due to come in 1949 and Hope Costley White the following year, but the former cannot now make it - hence the request to swap years.

The sermon will be preached on Sunday 30th January - the Sunday after the 26th, the anniversary of Gordon's death.
