Litcham Rectory, Swaffham, September 5h, 1914. Dear Mr. Bowell, I understand that the Churchwardens have sent you a cheque in payment of your account for recasting and re-hanging our 5h bell. I should just like to add that we are all very pleased with the bell; it has a beautiful tone, and is full of music. We are also very pleased with the prompt and careful manner in which you did all the work, and consider your charges most moderate. Yours truly, A. E. BURTON, Rector of Litcham.
