<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regarding the celebrations: I think that they are
reserved for 1859, the year in which the clock was started in the tower and the
bells were first heard. There is, however to be a private celebration in the
most appropriate of places.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Regarding the over-heavy hammer. I still regard it
as quite deliberate destruction. The J Warner bell was, as has been
said before, much too large to pass up the central shaft, hence the
extraordinary profile of the present great bell. Denioson was well aware of the
fact.</FONT></DIV>
