TELEPHONE: STRATTON-ON-THE-FOSSE, No. 5 TELEGRAMS: STRATTON-ON-THE-FOSSE STATION: CHILCOMPTON DOWNSIDE ABBEY STRATTON-ON-THE-FOSSE NR. BATH 2023-0309/496 19th February, 1939. My dear Father Prior, I have heard from the Abbot of Maredsous about Father Matthew Dillon, and he asked me to write to you for an opinion and testimonial about the character and vocation of Father Dillon, together with any other information. I have to be in Ireland this week and I have asked Father Dillon to obtain your permission to see me in Dublin on Saturday morning. It would be very much more convenient if he could come up to Dublin overnight, and I should be most grateful to you if you would allow this. Would you please address your reply to the Nunciature, to await arrival. Yours sincerely in Xto, Abbot.
