Date Pr. Michael's house, 8th January 1954 2. Alpha R. News Bros., London S.E.14 I letter 2023-10-24 Reverend Father Perin, 1853 I wish to write to you, as I heard, a short time ago, that Pr. Joseph's Pri. only has been founded by Don Mannion whom is senerated immensely in our congregation. I have been told about Glenstead by rev. Father Lubrise Collette, from Mont. Lesan, and by mother M. Benedicte Loganort, from Pr. Decidia's Abbey, Ryde, who knew formerly Don Beda Rebbe. These two informations seem to me an act of providence, as we were praying, by Don Chumba's intercellion, to obtain, if it is God's will, a foundation in Ireland. So, with the recommendation of Father Lubrise and Madame L'Abbesse, who have both been so kind to introduce my request, I save, reverend Father Perin, ask you a very great service: it is, if you could, perhaps by the relations you have in the Grish clergy, obtain, for us, a Bishop's consent to settle in his Siccese.

Our very simple mission amongst them is well exposed in this short summary I send you taken out of the well known branch now "A vie Spirituelle" November 1925. A few lines I noted on pages 12 to 18, will inform you about it much better than I could so. I ask you how on, respectfully father Mign to Dis. But you will this solicitation, but I have such a great confidence in your dear down Marrian that I am sure his sons will so something, if they can't, to help the sewants of the Bor. A last request is that, preferably, we wish to settle in Dublin, as may be our sisters' family resides there, it would help us so much. But the first step on our way to Ireland is the permission of his hordship the Bishop, and by ourselves, we shall never be able to so it. Returning on your great highness and praying for to bless Mr. Joseph's prison. Your respectfully father Mign how respectfully S: I quack.
