If Laurence's California Church Compton tree + Palm Drive Watts' California, P.O. Box 38. June 14th. 1923. ===== My dear Fr. Pro. I forward you some plans of what I consider our Foundation here in Watts may be in the course of 5 or 6 years. The School is an immediate necessity and I hope to run this up as soon as possible. I have put these group of buildings before the Bishop, and he is very pleased with them. You may keep these sketches at home as the Architect has other copies. Kindly let me know what you think of them as soon as possible. I forgot to mention in my last that some Fathers require Faculties for Blessing and Indulgencing sacred objects:- FRS. Sebastian, Raphael, Anthony, Bernard, and myself. If you could procure a relic of the true Cross for me I should be very grateful. With very best wishes, I am, my dear Fr. Pro, Yours respectfully, Joseph
