This is in relation to a proposed adoption by a Mrs. Jennings. +McQuaid states that by arrangement with American Catholic Charities and the Irish Government, the Archdiocese has adopted ‘…of necessity, a very strict procedure in the matter of legal adoption’.

Letter from +Levame to +McQuaid stating that the Sacred Congregation of Religious is thinking about co-operation of religious nurses with Catholic Associations working in the sector of nursing assistance on an international plane. This should be done through the Comite International Catholique des Infirmieres et Assistants Medico-Sociales. Issues such as Natural Law and Catholic Moral Law are extremely delicate and inclusion in the CICIAMS allows access to the World Health Organisation where they have an advisory vote. The nursing profession to date has been represented at the W.H.O. by the International Council of Nurses which has been declared neutral and non-denominational. Stronger assertion is needed and more tenacious defence of Natural Law and Catholic Moral Law is needed. He hopes a plan of action can be put in place for the Archdiocese.

Letter from +Joseph A. Carroll to +McQuaid regarding a suitable priest for the Nunciature. He suggests Fr. Enda Lloyd, a curate in Sutton or Fr. John Jones, chaplain to the Mercy Convent, Arklow. One obvious difficulty is their present location within the Archdiocese.
