Description

Holograph letter from Bishop J. Dignan, St. Brendan's 1928 Coorheen, Loughrea (County Galway), to Hagan. Some brief commissions; Fr. O'L[oughlin]'s reinstatement still carries conditions. Enclosing holograph letter and petition (latter not extant) from J.P. Fallon, St. Augustine’s, Ballinasloe (County Galway), for a marriage dispensation in affinity; explaining circumstances (omitting names). He has sought help for the 'condonatio' in Fr. Broderick's Mass intentions case. Then commenting that 'in Church and State' there seems to be a lull; not expecting political consequences from the bishops' pastorals – 'and that shows how dreadfully quiet the country is'. Unsure whether Colonel Moone's agitation for a final financial settlement with England is moral- if so, it will be a powerful tool in Fianna Fáil's hands, if not, the bishops needs must interfere. Reminding him of the permission sought for the priests that are to go to America. [8-17 February]
