dc.descriptionTypescript [copy] letter from 'J.H.' (Hagan), to 'my dear friend' [W. Miller, Carlow], acknowledging mail that had been delayed by the postal and the railway strikes. He will present all the collections together; the few that had been sent directly to the cardinal will take from the overall effect. Thanking him for his wishes which he knows to be sincere, unlike those of others who were offered despite the writers' general hostility. He views his situation with some unease, due to the critical days ahead in Italy and to the enemy's machinations � pointing to attempts over a few months to cut (the Irish College) off from frequent audiences which he has been able to wend off so far. There is a Christian Brother maestro di camera 'who has been making himself very busy all these years'; De Lai and his inferiors are 'either not friendly or positively unfriendly'; Bisleti and others of the Congregation tend to give trouble. Judging that strength is lent to the enemy's efforts 'by his apparent tremendous success in diplomacy'. In Ireland also there is support for that side � invoking 'your county man Fitzpatrick' who for instance indoctrinated some new men before leaving Ireland. Giving a good reference for (student) Watson. In Italy they are still living in war conditions and means are lacking.
