Bessie will return to Hastings soon, where Priestley wishes to remain, and she hopes to see Barbara soon. She is helping at the school as Miss Field is not well. She has listened to a sermon on faith at the ‘Chapel at Warwick’. She is regaining her faith and belief. She mentions her interest in Freehold societies, the recent purchase of a large piece of land near Coventry for division and the formation of societies in neighbouring towns.
