Overseas Missions; Johannesburg Foundation: copy letter from Valentine McMurray, C.P., to Caspar Caulfield, C.P., Missions Secretary General, in reply to his of 24-09-1962 (located at 8-1-4-27 serial no 6843). Bishop Boyle had promised Valentine to give the parish of Carletonville to the Congregation "plene iure et in perpetuum", but Valentine is not entirely convinced of the sincerity of the offer.. Feels that the Bishop was determined to have the fathers remain in Carletonville and so would not grant a foundation eslewhere except for North Riding, and that on condition that we remainn in Carletonville. North Riding not ideal. Valentine comments on matters relating to the ideal location: not necessary for mission procurator to reside in Johannesbursg; excellent facilities in Johannesburg for the occasional visits of missionaries: Johannesburg would be far from acceptable as a holiday centre for missionaries from Kalahari and its environs. Carletonville would be satisfactory in spite of the fact that there is no adjacent secondary sechool: and agreement to staff Carletonville, with an option of building later in North Riding, would be satisfactory.
