Leslie Baily notes that there is a duplicated circular letter in the diary saying, in consequence of the decease of Rev Dr. Wilkinson, Vicar of Swalcliffe, “co-treasurer with myself of Sibford Gower charities, the School and the Rev John Loggins’ charity, it is proposed that Rev A. E. Riddle, rector of Tadmarton, and Mr Joseph Woolgrove of Sibford Ferris, be appointed joint treasurers with myself” as above.

Recipients are asked to return portion marked “Yes” or “No”.

Leslie Baily also notes that Charles Barnes asked the Vicar for a rise for his son Alfred, a master at the School, of 1/- a week whilst school is open. After consulting Trustees, Stevens offered 1/- per week all year round and a present of £1 at end of year if Mr Langley reported well of him.
