Letter from +O’Hara to +McQuaid thanking him for the information on Patrick Murphy. He knows that not all people claiming to be in distress are and he appreciates the Archbishop’s efforts to establish the truth.

Letter from Sean T. O Ceallaigh, President, to +McQuaid, thanking him for the wonderful lunch. He believes the Nuncio must have been impressed by the words of welcome.

Copy letter from +McQuaid to +O’Hara stating that he has heard that the Nuncio is celebrating his Silver Jubilee of Episcopal Consecration but wishes that it go unnoticed. The Archbishop extends his congratulations and wishes his continued success.

Correspondence between +O’Hara and +McQuaid on the proposal to hold a commemoration of the 300th anniversary of the death of Mgr. Giovanni Rinucinni, the first Apostolic Nuncio to Ireland. Mgr. Tardini, Pro Secretary of State to His Holy Father had informed the Nuncio that the Pope wishes that it be a solemn commemoration and any references to the first Nuncio’s mission and materials he brought to Ireland, namely guns and ammunition, should be avoided. He hopes therefore that a mass will be held at the Pro Cathedral followed by a public conference at the Aula Maxima of the National University. The latter should be restricted to one or tow addresses. The Archbishop agrees and suggests that the Nuncio give the sermon at the Mass. He feels it would be better to hold the Mass at 11am on the Monday or Tuesday as the 13th, the actual death date of Rinucinni, falls on a Sunday.

Letter from +O’Hara to +McQuaid stating that he will assist at the Mass on Easter Monday. He mentions Bishop O’Brien, an American Bishop, who has been trying, in vain, to arrange a dinner with all the Irish Hierarchy and who will now try and meet some of the Bishops individually. Annotation by +McQuaid states ‘used throne, but did not recite mass or give blessing!’
