Handwritten draft letter, in French, to Eminence from +McQuaid regarding the misfortune of Italian seminaries affected by the recent war. He has already sent 83 boxes of clothes, shoes and medicine. Also, some seminary vestments. Suggests it was perhaps opportune to put these offerings at the disposal of Mgr. Montini. At this point in time he must consider his own poor in Dublin. Impossible to do all he would like to do. He could put at the disposal of His Eminence £2,000 as Mass offerings at five shillings a Mass. In this way it would help ease the sufferings of priests in seminaries. He has great desire to help those affected by the war.
