Copy letter from Fr. Colman Griffin to Fr. Stephen Murtagh

1 p.; typescript

Copy letter from Fr. Colman Griffin OFM Cap., Provincial Minister, to Fr. Stephen Murtagh OFM Cap. detailing personnel assignments and the financial relationship between the Irish Province and the American Custody. Father Colman refers to the assignment of a new priest to the American Custody, Fr. Herbert of Castleblayney (born Charles Cuthbert Thomas Whitfield, 12 November 1922). He is described as a ‘very good preacher’ who will be an asset to the Custody. Father Colman also gives news of Archbishop Sylvester Mulligan OFM Cap. He has returned to Dublin from Rome. While he is in ‘fairly good form’, doctors in Rome were not optimistic about his full recovery. Fr. Timothy Phelim O’Shea OFM Cap., the Bishop-elect of Livingstone, has sent word that he is returning to Ireland for his consecration in a few weeks, though final arrangements are not yet made.
