Scope and Content

From Frederick Leach Buxton at the `Memorial House', Cock Road, Kingswood, near Bristol, to Lewis Court.

They had a most delightful time at the re-union of ex-Bible Christian ministers, which was held at Knowle last Friday. There were thirty-three present and thirty letters of greeting were also received.

The brethren were very interested in Court's account of his Bible Christian collection. John Ford Reed also stated that he had a collection of great interest. The unanimous decision was that these collections should be preserved for the benefit of all those who wish to see them.

Alderman Humphries, who is a member of the Knowle congregation and was also at the meeting, made the suggestion that he could make arrangements for the collection to be preserved in the archives at Bristol City Library. The Alderman, John Ford Reed and Buxton were therefore authorised to make the best arrangements possible for the preservation of the collections.

Buxton would be grateful to receive Court's approval of the above arrangements.

Shebbear was also suggested but it was finally decided that it was too remote geographically. Bristol on the other hand is fairly central to all ex-Bible Christian ministers.

The brethren send their best wishes with the hope that Court's stay in Brighton will do him some good.
