Description

Holograph letter from M.J. Curran, Holy Cross College, Clonliffe, Dublin, to Hagan, enclosing his letter which arrived damaged (letter of c. 24 January). Some more comments on the process leading to his appointment as vice-rector. Much of his congratulatory mail is really a tribute to Hagan � some arrives 'from "somewhere in Ireland" � the modern e loco refugii nostri'. The Labour people left much wiser men than they came; McPherson may well have left for good and French 'will follow as soon as they can find a place for that brilliant statesman'soldier'. Lord Northcliffe is meeting Dominion Home Rulers like James O'Connor, Sir Jackie O'Connell LL.D., but they will not do any harm in Ireland. (Archbishop Walsh) is taking on far too much in his opinion, including the confirmations at the Pro-Cathedral; Dr. Donnelly is 'rapidly failing'. Brief news of parish changes; of the work for Progress 1 � preferring not to be vice-postulator but stay notarius.
