Description

Thursday night' [1919] Holograph letter from A.J. Murray [Rome], to Hagan, promising him information about 'Warren' by virtue of his new acquaintance Patrick J. Lennane whose political career he sketches - as officer in the Irish Volunteers, later Redmondite but arrested in 1916. Giving Hagan a lengthy explanation of his 'little affair' which involved sharing the Charles Kenny's statement with Sr. (Mary) Clare of the Blue Nuns for her superior, to inform her of 'what was daily taking place in Ireland' and resulted in an official reprimand of him involving his rector at the English College and also implicating Fr. O'Neill. Other sisters celebrated him for his political action. Delighted that O'Riordan's health has improved.
