Detailed description: Draft letter about constitutions to Fr. O Connor about writing to a Bishop. AI CLEANED TEXT Projet de lettre à Fr O'Connor 9095- /e7sy/t12 Dear Fr [O'Connor], I received Friday last a letter from His Grace, and acknowledged receipt of it, without adding other. As a matter of fact, I could hardly do else, H.G. [His Grace] not alluding to the case we put before him by the paper left in your hands Wednesday last. But I am afraid he has exaggerated the meaning and force of some phrases, and thought that perhaps some Society as contemplated by [the M.M.M.] would exist in Glenstal. Never such was done nor attempted—since it was to obtain authorization to try it that we did go to Thurles. I should be very sorry if H.G. had understood in another manner our application or any of our previous transactions. Would you think it useful, I would be very thankful for giving me an appointment, the next time you come in Murroe. Looking forward for a kind answer, I remain, dear Fr, Yours very thankfully, Dom [I.] ORIGINAL OCR Proiet de lettre a Er O'connor 9095- /e7sy/t12 Dear E7 1 received Friday last a lettsr from His Grace, and ackr Jedged receipt of it,without adding sther.
