Description

Holograph letter from A. Dalton, Casa delle Suore di Sant'Elisabetta, Via Certosa, Capri, to Hagan. Giving his impressions from the convent where he is staying and the guests at the nearby Hotel Faraglione. Thanks to Mr. Mather they now all know he is Irish; the former thinks of writing to the Pope to suggest Hagan's appointment as rector as something giving 'great satisfaction to Ameri-can citizens'; he has been holding the 'rather antiquated' view that the Irish just cannot agree among themselves. Twice making an allusion to his and the nuns' 'Bolshev' views.
