Letter from Norman Lamplugh, 30th May 1946.

Presumably at least an acquaintance, since he asks to be remembered to Hope Costley White.

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. A heavy expense, he knows, but no expenditure needed from their arrival onwards. The Bishop in Egypt would love to entertain them en route. Dean Don of Westminster can give them details about the journey, as he came last January. The sermon will be preached on Sunday 30th January - the Sunday after the 26th, the anniversary of Gordon's death.
