Description
Fragment typescript letter with handwritten additions in ink from [P.E. Magennis], Collegio Internazionale del PP. Carmelitani, Via Sforza Pallavicini 10, Rome, to [Hagan]. Relating his diplomatic achievements, in a cryptic style, [concerning Archbishop Mannix], in his conversations with 'the Ex. Austral.' [Cerretti], who confirmed that 'the lads' [English] had been at it, and whom he tried to convince of the strength of the movement and of 'the final triumph': 'no man who had seen things at close quarters can [doubt the final]'. 'The little man' [the Pope] is very interested and would do according to suggestions in a recent document. [Magennis] has written to 'His of Adella' and to Signore Foli who at present is 'in Babylon'. He is satisfied with matters overall � 'the move was an excellent one and not too hot to handle'. Hagan's presence will be as important as ever 'to resume operations on the home front'. He could not get the facts; asking to obtain the first letter sent to 'Adella' (end missing). (Date, author, addressee and names supplied from pencil annotations by [Curran].)
