Dublin, 4 January 1950
Dear Father Mangan,
This will acknowledge receipt of your letter dated the 3rd January1 informing me that His Grace the Archbishop grants me permission to read Communist and Marxist literature whenever my duties in External Affairs demand it. I would be grateful if you would express my thanks to His Grace.
With my very best wishes for the New Year,
I remain,
Yours sincerely,
