from this Excellency Thomas J. Lierman, Just Minister to the Holy See, Via San Martino della Battaglia (), Rome, Italy. 23rd February, 1945 My dear Father Edward, — Today, your letter of December 20th arrived, with all the "Excellency" shuff on it — Are you gone crackers? I am sending the note about Vincent & Borin for your approval.

Is there anything you want from here that I can send? All good niches. Mac.
