Copy of a typed letter to the Archbishop of Armagh [+ D’Alton] from +McQuaid informing him he handed the letter to the Taoiseach. The Taoiseach accepted their decision.

The bishops had not condemned the Scheme on the ground of Faith and Morals.’ It is not known what the Minister will do next.
Handwritten letter to +McQuaid from + D’Alton. Before he went out of office Dr. Browne seemed very determined to do as much harm as he could to all who opposed his Scheme. Hopes the storm has now blown over.
