Dear Reverend Mother,
I have pleasure, now that I know your
address, in returning the documents you sent me.
I am glad to learn of the Minister's
approval.
The Bank Manager has written and I have
signified my approval on condition that The Holy See grants
the usual permission to borrow the 858,000 needed for
Edenmore.
You will never forget that it is
my desire to help the Scandinavian countries that induced
me to give the Congregation a House in Dublin. It is my
hope that you will obtain vocations for your work in
these mission countries.
With kind wishes,
I remain,
Yours very sincerely in Xto.,
Archbishop of Dublin,
