Letter from +O’Hara to +McQuaid thanking him for the ‘gracious letter that I received from the Hierarchy of Ireland through His Eminence, the Most Reverend Cardinal D’Alton and their Lordships the Most Reverend Secretaries of the Hierarchy on the occasion of my departure from Ireland to take up new duties that have been assigned me in Great Britain’. He especially thanks the Archbishop for all his help and that he will treasure the memories he has of Ireland, whose people have a deep practical catholic faith. He asks for continued prayers in relation to his new position on ‘…the other side of the Irish Sea…’
