- Correspondence relating to the presence in Dublin of one priest and two lay-brothers of the German Missionary Congregation of St. Ottilien. Letters and Memoranda. Already pre- war fund-collecting in several parts of Ireland by one of the lay-brothers (Ferns, Ardagh, Limerick). Immediately before outbreak of war the trio were in Ireland, escaping interment in Britain as Enemy Allies; their house in Hendon (Westminster) having as Superior a priest (English?) who was the only member of the community not interned. Archbishop gravely displeased at the trio’s residence in Dublin. Plan for temp. Hospitality at Glenstal fails. Superior at Hendon takes issue with Archbishop.
