Description

Holograph letter from K.[eohane] of M.H. Gill & Son Ltd., Dublin, to Hagan, in thanks for [an article]- wishing they had a picture of that prelate. Apologising for not coming on a visit this year: he means to fight it out, and visit in the next year together with their 'brewery friend' [Morrissey]. Expressing dissatisfaction with many things that are happening – although there were no surprises since he had the measure of those in the limelight long ago. Though everything was done to smooth the path of [O.C.F.] he fell on hard times amongst them- but K.[eohane] is pleased that Hagan has such an able worker in his field. The brewery friend can tell Hagan his own opinions of the individual nuns – the visitators seem all directly or indirectly in communication with the civilizers. Advising Hagan that 'poor Brosna' [O'Flanagan] was 'not the worst offender' and will prove it someday.
