2023-06-15/686 WAR OFFICE. [Handwritten signature and markings] Lansdowne House, Berkeley Square, W.l. Septr. 27th. 1949. CONFIDENTIAL Very Rev. and dear Father Prior, Your letter of 24th. 8.49 and enclosure were held up pending my return from sick leave. Whilst I am sure you are satisfied with the dispositions of the person in question, you will, I hope, appreciate that, with his official "record of service" as my only evidence of his conduct in the Army, I cannot possibly, with that evidence before me, solemnly testify that he is "idoneus" for the priesthood or religious life. In view of the provisions of Canon 545, para. 2 I have felt bound to refer that aspect of the case to the Apostolic Delegate here who is my nexus with the Apostolic See. All kind wishes. Most sincerely yours in Xto. Agministrator Apostolic Castrensis. The Very Rev. Father Prior. O. S. B. Glenstal Priory, Murroe, Co. Limerick, Eire.
