Letter from Fr. Thomas F. Ryan, Stella Maris, Sandymount, to McQuaid, stating that Major Roger Fitzgerald-Lombard is seeking an introduction. He is a prominent member of the Knights of Malta and two of his daughters are members of the Holy Child nuns. He also quotes Cardinal McRory saying that ‘Roger is a very brave man.
