Letter from +Dunne to +McQuaid regarding an invitation to the Archbishop from Mgr. Browne of Ferns to sing the Mass or give the Panegyric at the Month’s Mind of +James Staunton. Annotated by +McQuaid.

Copy of a typed letter to the Taoiseach from Noel C. Browne, reminding him that he (Dr. Browne) was quite satisfied that the misapprehensions of +McQuaid, + Browne and + Staunton, at their meeting on 11th October, were satisfactorily disposed of, with the exception of health education. Asks whether the Taoiseach is withholding his approval of the Scheme due to the supposed opposition of the Hierarchy or to the possible opposition of one member of the Hierarchy?

Letter from Mgr. James Browne acknowledging the great loss felt by +McQuaid on the death of his friend, Bishop Staunton. He also states he has been elected Vicar Capitular by the Chapter in Enniscorthy. Annotated by +McQuaid.

Handwritten account of the meeting of 10th December 1952 between the Tanaiste and his Minister for Health on the Government side and the Committee of +McQuaid, + Kinnane, + Browne, + Staunton, and + Lucey, and two typed copies.

Copy of typed letter to + D’Alton from +McQuaid. + Browne has completely surprised by publishing the correspondence without anybody’s permission. The Taoiseach has been obliged to follow up. The Irish News Agency, of Mr. McBride’s creation, had the impertinence to ask + Staunton, and then +McQuaid, without informing +McQuaid of the request from + Staunton, to write a statement of 1,000 words for the foreign press ‘presenting the case of the Irish Hierarchy on the Mother and Child issue.’

Handwritten letters to +McQuaid from + Kinnane, + Staunton, + Browne and + Lucey thanking him for the minutes of the meeting.
