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.

Typed letter to + McQuaid from Richard Roche, sub-editor of The Irish Independent. His friend, the English writer Peter Huxley-Blythe, told him about the anti-Communist underground in Russia and Eastern Europe. The leader of this movement received leaflets on Fatima and Our Lady’s promise that Russia would be saved. Leaflets distributed secretly by the underground and this might be the means of the actual conversion of Russia. Suggests more leaflets be printed and the work be publicised by a series of lectures by Huxley-Blythe.
