• Correspondence between + George Patrick Dwyer,

• Short, general letter from +Patrick Casey to +McQuaid.

Letter from +McQuaid to +O’Hara returning correspondence from Patrick McDonell and enclosing a letter from Canon Turley, McDonell’s Parish Priest. The man caused a ‘great stir’ in The Standard by ‘…representing his dire poverty as unrelieved by parochial or other agencies’. He suggests that the man may not contact the Nuncio again when his letter fails to draw any money.

• Correspondence between Mgr. Levame, Fr. Patrick Carton & Mgr. Alibrandi regarding the application of a Cistercian, Anthony Hannick, to study for the priesthood in America under the Bishop of Yakima.

Fathers, Kimmage, +McQuaid and +Levame in relation to the possibility of Irish priests going to South America to do missionary work. The Sacred Consistorial Congregation is in support of this but +McQuaid feels that the sending isolated priests to work there is not a good idea. He has actively discouraged Irish boys from going to the College in Louvain as neither the framework nor formation suits the Irish. He feels it would be better if the mission could be organised through the Columban Fathers or the Society of St. Patrick, both of whom have experience in the missionary field.
