scb_acquisition Accepted as a deposit on behalf of the Methodist Church from Mr Arnold Pacey, November 2005
description Typed letter. Shock of 'Stonegateway tragedy' Assumes they have similar new at Tong Chuan [Jinzhong] as he does - about 100 men attacked Stonegateway with guns and swords and Heber [Rev Reginald Heber Goldsworthy] killed. Sympathises with their task in sorting out aftermath and funeral arrangements. Ken [May] and family and Moodys go on leave soon. With Heber now dead all cover work will fall to Fred [Cottrell] so we need to find way to lighten load as can't postpone furloughs. Asks them to consider some alternative working arrangements, which Fred agrees with. Asks them to send telegram stipulating which arrangement suits them.
