Description

Handwritten letter from ['Sr. Rd'] [Fr. Morrissey, Dublin], to 'Carissima' [Hagan], in thanks for his letters; commenting on a sudden death of [P...] leaving a wife and child. He had not heard about Tizi. Also commenting on 'your assistant'; with Con's influence he should be able to do good. MacCaffrey's 'S.O.S.' concerning Maynooth caused turmoil but also gave rise to satire; repeating items from K.(eohane). Then referring to 'Visitator II'[...], Cronin and 'Sr. Patrick' [... ] who has 'downed (and) outed herself'. Also referring to Fr. O'Reilly's death, 'N.B.'[Archbishop Byrne]; explaining a recent telegram to Hagan; Fr. Myles O'Rourke's operation, other cases of illness; Fr. O'Loughlan's trouble over money. [Reference to his own career as viewed by K.(eohane).] Then stating that nothing can be done about (Sr. Mary) Celsus who loves to praise Hagan; at least she has no information to give. Adding finally speculations about diocesan appointments for Lennon's place; 'Visit[ator] II' [...] is not likely to live long.
