Dryer TEL. UB 1151 11 KENYON STREET. FAIRFIELD. New South Wales, .....16th. January, 1952. Reverend and Dear Father, I have read the copy of your "Angelic Shepherd" which you sent me a few days ago. It reveals a personality greater and more outstanding than I had even realised. May I say, Father, that I believe you have done great service to the appreciation of a supreme personality, to the Church and to the non-Communist world generally. A money order for 10/- is enclosed to cover the cost of the copy sent. With regard to distribution in Australia, I have brought the book to the notice of Messrs. Pellegrini & Co. Pty. Ltd., 543 George St., Sydney, the largest Catholic booksellers in this country. You may expect an early communication from them. Very respectfully and sincerely, Rev. Father Senan, O.F.M., Cap., Capuchin Annual Office, Baile-Atha-Cliath. --- Page 3 --- OLD VICARAGE, OSPRINGE, FAVERSHAW. FAV. 2621. March 19.

Two very kind friends of ours in our came from Church St, Dublin Days-Father John Butler-Bless him, and Father Benedict who I hope is still with you. The enclosed story is a light affair, it may be too light for you-but I'll try and never despair- Yrs sincerely Wimfred Letts --- Page 4 --- GAILEIRÍ NÁISIÚNTA NA HÉIREANN NATIONAL GALLERY OF IRELAND BAILE ATHA CLIATH DUBLIN 19th March 1952 Dear Pierce, I four praise of my article wakes me feel timidly proud. Just once said I had a lot of "killarresq freuch" into my writing. When I had finished Joe's book a fortnight ago I was thinking how much more of it his writing has than mine. Good luck to him. I four took a great deal of pain about the choosing of photographs for the article. They are a beautiful selection. And even were right in thinking that Monroe Arianni would not forget me. The invitation for Wednesday evening came this morning. The only reason is that I had a date with a girl friend in the tea- room at the Screate! And I'd have to ask her to let me come early or change the day altogether. Tom. --- Page 5 --- SEANAD ÉIREANN TIGH LAIGHEAN (Leinster House) BAILE ÁTHA CLIATH (Dublin) Feb. 26th 52.

I feel very much in your debt for this grand present. I was also greatly relieved by this morning's post to see that my article on Mrs. Concannon is at last in print. Now I hope for peace from Mother Imelda! We have Wilfrid Sheed here with us for a week-end and return to Downings next Wednesday. Frank asked me to have him for a week or so. The grandmother has been rather painfully ill the whole year, so that the flat in London has not been a very gay place and she cannot be moved. I hope the printing strike did not involve you in too hideous troubles as it did so many editors of my acquaintance.
