Description

Holograph letter from [P.M.S.S.] [Patrick Murphy], St. Mary's, Bacup Lancashire (England), to 'my dear Father' [Hagan], commenting that he may write more opinions freely from England. Sorry he was ill after Christmas. Commenting on public opinion in Ireland –'no man is more eagerly sought for today than a peace- maker'. (Sr.) Emanuel in George's Street told him of Dr. Mulhern's visit – he made his views against the republicans very clear, blaming them for the troubles in the north. Dr. Codd promised to do everything to help (Hagan) [in the matter of employing the sisters at the College] - however, the bishops cannot do much because they have nuns in Maynooth; the Blue Nuns in Rome can be discounted. In Lancashire, he is having a difficult time with the ex-R.I.C. [priest] who is with him; people are out of hand because they know of his background – he is 'one of those saints that A.B. Kelly sent'. There are 2,000 Catholics and he often works very late. Giving his plans for travelling and returning home.
