Holy Cross Retreat: Ardoyne; Belfast: Dispute with Bishop McAllister. Letter from Fr Thomas, Consultor General, Rome, to Fr Arthur Devine, Highgate, London, acknowledging Arthur's of 23rd Nov. (copy of that letter is not extant in these archives). It's tone dishearten 's Thomas. We have to make some concessions, otherwise Bishop has stolen a march on us. Fact we bought and paid for site is important, but if church is built on it we can't sell it or till it or ground-rent it. Also the reference to Bishop Dorrian slipping in his signature as a trustee could have been put better. Even if we won a case, the Sacred Congregation would not enforce it.
Holy Cross Retreat: Ardoyne; Belfast: Dispute with Bishop McAllister: Letter from Fr Thomas, Consultor General, Rome to Fr Provincial, Highgate. London. Thomas has gone to Propaganda with Document sealed and signed by General. (This document is the following one located under serial number 1994). The documewnt was too vaguely worded for them so Thomas added a page, (which he encloses at page 4 of the letter and written in Latin). When he got back Fr Arthur's letter was there showing St Joseph's CPs would not agree to letting Bishop have anything to do with a church on CP grounds (copy of that letter is not extant in these archives).

Gives reason why enclosure be signed.
