Correspondence, mostly in French, relating to Archbishop McQuaid’s interest in Pere Lamy, who died in 1931. He was a mystic and priest of the Archdiocese of Paris and he inspired the foundation of this Institute. The Archbishop’s interest goes back to the 1930s but this correspondence begins . His interest in the House of the Institute at Oise in the diocese of Beauvais; he expedites cows from Ireland to there; he pays pension of two members at the French seminary, Rome. (see also file of St. Joseph of Cluny Sisters). The Institute is languishing due to internal and external problems, the latter involving Monsieur Charles Emmenecker, resident in Switzerland.

Letter from +Pascal Robinson to +McQuaid stating that the telegram received from the S. Consistorial Congregation allows him to be consecrated without waiting for the arrival of the Bulls and also allows him take possession of the archdiocese.

Letter from +Levame to +McQuaid stating that the Sacred Congregation of Religious is thinking about co-operation of religious nurses with Catholic Associations working in the sector of nursing assistance on an international plane. This should be done through the Comite International Catholique des Infirmieres et Assistants Medico-Sociales. Issues such as Natural Law and Catholic Moral Law are extremely delicate and inclusion in the CICIAMS allows access to the World Health Organisation where they have an advisory vote. The nursing profession to date has been represented at the W.H.O. by the International Council of Nurses which has been declared neutral and non-denominational. Stronger assertion is needed and more tenacious defence of Natural Law and Catholic Moral Law is needed. He hopes a plan of action can be put in place for the Archdiocese.
