Letter from Cardinal Bernard Griffin, Benedictine Abbey, Kylemore, Clifden, Co. Galway to +McQuaid thanking him for the invitation to Archbishop’s House and to lunch at Notre Dame. His brother, Fr. Basil will also be able to attend. He has hoped to keep his visit private but was photographed by someone ‘snooping round’. Cardinal Griffin was Archbishop of Westminster and Fr. Basil was his twin brother.

Letter from +Walsh to +McQuaid. He regrets that he won’t be able to attend the Solemn Votive Mass for the President as he’ll be staying in Kylemore Abbey and celebrating their High Mass.
