Handwritten letter to + McQuaid from Patrick Roche, Secretary, the Richard Corish Branch, Irish Labour Party, Rosslare Harbour. Thanked the Archbishop for his visit to James Larkin. Is grateful for all he has done in “genuine Christian charity”. Archbishop has much in common with Dr. Dignam, Bishop of Clonfert, who did his duty. But Dr. Dignam made one mistake. He was too honest “for our newcomers to the ballot box”, and went down gloriously. “Right under Might.” The working-class pray that similar just prelates do not suffer same fate. Earnest wish is that Labour leaders of future will pay respect to bishops.

Typed letter to +McQuaid from Bryan W. Roche, 24 Pembroke Park, Dublin 4, telling the Archbishop he is wasting his time as his groundwork of honouring the Divine Child has neglected to speak of the honour due to those who are redeemed by the action of the Divine Child. The guilt lies with silent bishops who lack the vision of the sacredness of mankind. Poem enclosed.
