Your Grace my dear Archbishop
Before leaving I wish to tell you that I
sow Mr. Ryan on Friday afternoon and
Mr. Tierney and Mr Jones on Saturday
morning. The three were very kind.
t received some information regard-
ing the loan from Mr Ryan together
with the assurance that I would
hardly be needed in Dublin before
the New year, I told Ms. Tierney
about the heating system and your
suggestion in considering it in
vuu of a larger plant later sister
Ann Mary was able to go over the
initiative plans with Mr. Jones and
several changes were suggested
I did lill him to provide a few
more private words and expand
the sanilary facilities. Your suggestion
your Grace that he consult Mr. Tierney
with the plans was nor forgotten.
The three men promised to write me
in Rome as information, is gathered
With these contacts completed I feel that
I can depart with an easier mind,
I am profoundly grateful to Your Grace
for all you have done for me during these
Past four years but especially during
these past four months You have been
not only generous and kind but that to
a most delicate degree. Even a bronze
statue of you in the hall of Edenmore
wouldn t be sufficient to express
my appreciation
The two Sisters were simply charmed
with theer visit and deeply apprece-
ated your kindness in allowing them
so much of your precious time your
Grace.
It gave me increased pleasure
that my own Sisters had the privi
lege of meeting you
This evening the Medical Missionaries
gave a little Sing Song before our
departure While in the Reception Room
I sat on the opposite side to my usual
position, Your photo on the mantel piece
is always a reminder but to-night even
on the opposite side it seemed you
had turned and were looking my way
Now I am convinced the more that I
like that photo best because whether
to the right left or in front of it I
trink I am in your immediate presence
Your Grace It is my first picture of you in 1937
O I wrote to Father Finucane and told
him I would try to do what I could
abour Rockwell when I return
as-
suring him that I would only
to
glad to be one of those going.
R
would give me keen satisfaction to do
something for the Holy Ghost Fathers
St. Joseph may offer us some solu
tirn for Fathers Finucane is difficulty
Back in the Eternal City my prayers
you, Your Grace will be intensified at
I recall all your Fatherly kindnesses, God
grant I may not prove too unworthy of
them, In the depths of my soul I feel so
unworthy. That I may become less so I humbly
beg your prayers and blessing, Your Grace
Most respectful
Your grateful telocele child in M.
