Has gift of clear and effective writing - he contributed various articles to the Modern Churchman. B compiled indices to S's The Four Gospels - high standard of accuracy and considerable judgement in subject index. B one of most promising younger theologians in Oxford. B a man of practical good sense, capable of working harmoniously with other people, and would be an acceptable member of any Common Room. B's approach to religion is human as distinct from ecclesiastical and he thinks and speaks in the English language not in clerical jargon - this is important if he is to influence typical Oxford undergraduate.

Congratulates Bezzant on his appointment at Liverpool Cathedral. L has sent letter through Blackwell to 600 members of the Preparatory Schools Association about B's Explanations: a companion to a short Bible, and has had a number of letters of thanks.
