Stuk 44 - Letter from Bernard Dickinson to James Smith

2 single sheets

Convent of Our Lady of Lourdes, Boarbank Hall, Grange-over-Sands.—Congratulates him on his nomination to the chair at Fribourg; he had been wondering whether to make inquiries through the Holy Ghost Fathers there—where de Winton is—and only yesterday had been sharing recollections of the place with the Bishop of Lancaster [T. E. Flynn]. Thinks Aunt Hannah will be at home there. Will start saving for a visit next year. Is glad that they [Smith and his aunt] are going to the South Coast for a holiday. Smith will be relieved that his examination work is coming to an end. Is thinking of going to St Edmund’s House in August, at the invitation of the present rector [Corboy], and asks whether Smith will be in Cambridge then. Encourages him to write to Hanrahan directly.
