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. He had the courage….to lead his men to Mass every Sunday in Belfast, bands playing and banners flying. It takes a very brave man to do that in Balfost (sic)’.

Fitzgerald, M., Dublin. He is sad and disgusted to see young girls at the docks. Asks if anything can be done.

23 -26 February 1944 Fitzgerald, John D., 4 Leeson Park, Dublin.+ McQuaid’s Lenten Letter is causing him serious mental stress and asks for guidance.
