Handwritten letter to + McQuaid from James Kavanagh regarding Hildegarde Mayr- Goss. Fr. Kavanagh appreciates advice but hurt at + McQuaid’s stern rebuke. He only met Mr and Mrs Goss twice, listened to them and discussed the theology of pacifism. Believed they are sincere and idealistic. Mrs Una Byrne prevented the Lord Mayor from meeting them. She says a lot of wild things. Ignace Lepp, author of From Karl Marx to Jesus Christ, would never have seen the Church if the Mrs Byrnes were the only Catholics he met. Had hoped that the Archbishop would give them some salutary advice. Will not see them again.
