Item 2 - Autograph draft signed of a letter from Henry D.A. Major, Principal of Ripon Hall Oxford, to Ernest Harold Pearce, Bishop of Worcester

Agrees that longer parochial experience would be of value to Bezzant. M wishes Bezzant might come to Ripon in year and a half but this not possible. Question of Bezzant's heart - M thinks a clergyman's health is a consideration which should be ignored if possible. Richardson tells M that Bezzant's cycling in a hilly parish is very bad for him. M doesn't think Bezzant could be in more favourable environment than he is in at present - whether it continue to be as valuable if Bezzant disappointed is a difficult psychological problem.
