• 30 June - Correspondence between Dublin, Parkminster (Sussex) and Rome regarding a proposal to make a foundation in Dublin. Archbishop suggests the Farnan property at Moone to Prior of Parkminster as it is his desire ‘to have a Cathusian, not Cistercian, house in my diocese’. +Patrick Dunne (auxiliary) visits Parkminster (where he knows Dom Stephen, brother of Dom Eugene OCSO Boylan) and draws up short put penetrating report. Archbishop’s evident lack of sympathy for the Cistercian life in contrast with his enthusiasm for Carthusians.

Several brochures on Carthusian life. CF also file ‘Cistercian Monks’. Carmelites Calced (O. Carm)
