Description

Holograph letter from Bishop Joseph MacRory, Trench House (Belfast, County Antrim), to Hagan, enclosing cheque for Peter's Pence. Explaining that the sum - £ 708-15-6- is small because of the increased poverty in Belfast- one of the shipyards closed, and the linen trade continues low and is unlikely to recover because of greater competition and less demand in America. Promising that he will settle the cases open between Frs. O'Loan and McWilliams; while there are just claims, Fr. O'Loan's writing to Rome was simply uncalled-for. Commenting on a passage in Hagan's letter; finding it strange if England - 'which is likely in the case to mean "Ulster"'- has anything to say in the matter. 'For two years these govts. stood by (and) saw our people shot down like dogs, and my Priests (and) myself in daily danger of assassination... my soul abhors such interference.'
