From the Rev. W. H. Collis The Rectory, . Biddenden. 22/12/1920.
Dear Mr Duncan,
Thank you ever so much ! It was most kind of you to send me the list and plan and I will keep it in the church safe for future reference. What hours of work it must have involved! But you will have the satisfaction of knowing that you have supplied the church with a valuable document which at any time may prove of great use and enable us to answer enquiries which with out its aid, we could not have done. I shall look forward to seeing you here in the summer and offer you the opportunity of searching the Church Registers, should you wish to do so.
With kind regards and best wishes for Xmas: and the New Year
I remain, Sincerely yours, William. H. Collis.
