Two Letters from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textTwo holograph letters from M.[J. Curran], 211 (North Circular) Road (Dublin), to Hagan. In sympathy for his sufferings, mentioning gillette blades. He made arrangements for the new students at Clonliffe. Dempsey will return; news of [colleagues] A. Ryan, Fr. O'Neill, William Murphy. Hoping the Vatican will not intervene; 'it is bad enough to have our own chiefs rushing in where angels fear to tread'. G.[avan] D.[uffy] does not want the Count [O'Byrne] to be received officially, just to have access to the Secretariat of State. The former's resignation is much talked about; it arose probably over changing the draft of the constitution which Collins and Griffith acquiesced to. Curran is losing faith in Mulcahy, Oliver O'Duffy and [M. Ken.] who in the end will also swallow the constitution and taking a commission from the king. The ministry is afraid to meet criticism over this, and its treatment of the republican fighters; that should explain postponement of the Da?il. Expecting the fight to carry on for two months. Well-informed sources expect a big fight in Cork county and city; communications are interrupted on a scale larger than reported in the papers. Adding that Mrs. G[avan] D[uffy] upholds the old position, if criticising DeV[alera]; the children are in Munich. His own travel plans. Adding in second letter that he saw [Archbishop Byrne] who offered all possible assistance to the College; the archaeological commission's investigation in S. Agata was discussed but the restoration of the altar has to wait. The purchase of land in Tivoli might enhance the property, but eventually a transfer to a 'shadier' or maritime place is envisaged. In relation with the Angelico, Byrne repeated strong opposition to handing over the College to the Friars

Letter from M. J. Curran to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from M.J. Curran, Archbishop's House, Dublin, to Hagan, enclosing a cheque for exchange rate investments, and for mass stipends. Enclosing receipt and statement of purpose for the sum. Inquiring about the purchase of a machine for rotographing manuscripts. Offering news from the transcription work- Fr. McErlean has found new material on Peter Talbot. Commenting that they 'are in for hot times here again' as to agitation and crime. Motor cars are only allowed to 'licensed loyalists' and they do not have a license yet. 'We had Detective Barton shot last night (and) I suppose we will have a score more before Lord French is withdrawn'. Also stating that 'Sinn Fein is quite pleased at their recruiting sergeant�s proclamations (and) other activities'. Brief comment on the Freeman adapting itself to popular opinion; other press; Wilson is like Humpty Dumpty- 'and what a fall!' The Australian chaplain case disclosed the methods of the military; hoping Fr. O'Donnell will not interfere over here. Brief references to health of colleagues, including Dr. Donnelly. There is no news about [the Irish College rectorship] though he has no doubts it will go well; for the vice-rectorship there was also a young applicant from Belfast. Giving in detail his opinion that whatever was said against Hagan had been greatly exaggerated. [Enclosing, without comment] printed letter from Archbishop Walsh of Dublin to Cardinal O'Connell of America of 10 November 1919: stating that his subscription to the Irish National Fund of the D�il has not been made public by Irish national papers; commenting on the status of martial law and the restrictions placed on newspapers; asking the cardinal to make this public knowledge

Two Letters from M.J. Curran to Hagan
No full textTwo holograph letters from M.(J. Curran) 338 East 29th Street, New York (United States of America) to Hagan. Commenting on the move from St. Agatha's, expressing his preference for leaving the monument to O'Connell's heart behind – 'it is too Englishy and at best is mediocre' – and raise money in the States for a shrine, combining it with the centenary of Emancipation – there is much interest in the matter. Brief references to the need for a spiritual director, the Lateran classes, the Tizi protest. Commenting on the recent behaviour of Canice [O'Gorman O.S.A.]; guessing that the hierarchy at home sees through him; his efforts especially to curry favour with the 'F.S. bigwigs' left him floundering. Some reference to the people he will seek out in his campaign. Discussing the question of bestowing about fifty Roman titles to [donors of substantial sums]; Sbarretti is to be involved; discussing in particular one slightly dubious petitioner, O'Leary Scratton, very rich. Offering speculations again on the ultimate sum that can be gathered; only a direct personal appeal- impossible- from Cardinal O'Donnell could attain anything big. Possibility of gaining a good sum from James J. Ryan, Philadelphia, for instance; stating his difficulty in trailing potential donors; Cardinal Hayes is not helpful seeing the much greater need of the North American College. Then commenting on competition and particularly Fr. Sweetman's campaign for the Gorey Benedictine school: aided by a professional charity-drive organiser and by propaganda for his school, he drops names of past pupils and their further achievements. Commenting that his booklet is a diplomatic masterpiece, that the Bishop of Ferns ought to inform Cardinal Hayes of the fact that the school is one for rich snobs and West Britons. Describing his efforts in Chicago where he must return on 1 March. The A.(ncient) O.(rder of) H.(ibernians) is most helpful everywhere, singling out Mrs. Horan of Pittsburgh; somebody of importance ought to come to represent the cause during their convention – urging Hagan to come himself. Mentioning the Bishop of Los Angeles- glad Hagan wrote to him. Encouraging him to court the 'Marchese' [...] who has a great name for charity in church matters. Protesting again that he had no intention to force Hagan's hand in the affair concerning 'D.' [student Dineen for Sydney]; Hagan ought to speak his mind immediately in cases like this; discussing what he conceives to be Hagan's 'reticence' in College matters. (First letter lacks a signature and may be fragmented.) Adding more information on Fr. S.(weetman) who actually seeks to found a school and monastery. Curran has at last located Frank P. Walsh
