Letter from Clifford Woodward, 7th October 1952. Bishop of Gloucester. Dreads the imminent ending of their active life and work together. Need to inform Downing Street sooner rather than later - they are so slow in making appointments. (A pencilled note dates this letter to 1953, but it must be 1952.)

Letter from Charles Smyth, 22nd February 1952. Rector of St. Margaret's, Canon of Westminster. Has got someone to do Evensong, and so can assist Harold Costley White at a wedding (presumably in St. Margaret's, since he invites the CWs to lunch in the Rectory before the service). Will Harold Costley White ensure that his address is audible - otherwise people will fidget and whisper. Hears that Hope Costley White is working on another little book on Gloucestershire history (see Previous letters).

Letter from Charles Smyth, 22nd March 1952. Rector of St. Margaret's, Canon of Westminster. Everyone v disappointed that Harold Costley White was not well enough to officiate ), but the wedding seemed to go well. Is sure that if Harold Costley White were still Head Master relations between Chapter and School would be better, and that conditions in Dean's Yard would be more tolerable; with the Under School playground beneath his study window, he wonders for how much longer he can stand the strain. (see previous letters).

Letter from Charles M. Gere, 21st November 1943. Thanks Harold Costley White for passing on Philby's opinions on the future of Palestine (presumably Kim, who was at Westminster under Harold Costley White) - some discussion of the issues. Possibility of hanging a photograph of the Doom painting, or a photograph of an engraving of it (see previous letters from Gere).

Letter from Charles M. Gere, 8th March 1944. Presumably the artist has heard from Harold Costley White that a Doom painting, sent to London for safekeeping, has been destroyed by bombing - but at least the painting was in a ruinous state, so it is not quite like losing a masterpiece. Looks forward to seeing him at the committee of the CPRE.
