Your Grace my dear Archbishop
After completing the Visitation of Schools
in three Dioceses, I am here for a few
days of quiet you can imagine what
happiness it is for me to be amidst
my own. There was a new joy in
just the ordinary salutation Good-
morning, Mother coming from my
own Sisters.
Before leaving Dublin I had the joy
of hearing the good news that the Minister
of Local Government has approved the
purchase of Edenmore and Mr. Ryan
says we can take possession of the

Mr. Jones assured me that on my return
next Tuesday he will be in a position
to tell me when the repairs can be com-
menced. The realization of my own
unworthiness makes my prayer of
gratitude the more fervent.
Your Grace I am sure that you did
much to give the impetus that af-
firs have taken and I am so deeply
grateful. No day passes without the
spesial mention of your name in my
prayers. I only hope that these are win-
mng help in the indefatigable labour
that you are undertaking for the spread
of our Lords Kingdom.
At the Bank yesterday I made an
application for the loan necessary

he would be writing to you for your
recommendation or approval, I have
already written Rev. Mother General for a
letter authorizing me to make the
transaction. the cash for the pur-
chase of Edenmore is already de-
posited I really missed Mr. O Dwyer
from the Bank. He was so kind
Rockwell is beautiful just now.
Nods little songsters are the only sounds
I catch at this moment he rose colored
leaves climbing the house are silent in
their growth so like God's lifes growth
in our souls. Mhe tranquiliity is good
for soul and body
I hope your Grace is keeping well
I humbly ask your Blessing, prayers on me
w appreciates se much your Kindness who remains
Most respectfully in M
Your devoted child.

Condition Report and Survey Drawings by William A. Maguire & Associates, architects, 34 Lower Baggot Street, Dublin 2. The report was prepared in preparation for major renovation work on St. Mary of the Angels which got underway in the mid-1970s. The introduction to the report affirmed that the ‘ultimate objective of the exercise is the adaptation of St. Mary of the Angels to conform with current Liturgical principle and to achieve this … a comprehensive survey of the existing building has now been carried out and accurate scale plans prepared’. The architect’s report also noted that the original plans of the Church were no longer available. The report is divided into seven sections:
I. Introduction: History and Development
II. Walls and Plastering
III. Floors
IV. Roofs
V. Gutters and Downpipes
VI. Water tanks, Heating, Hot Water Services, Electrical
VII. Re-Planning and Summary
The summary concluded that the Friary and adjoining Church were ‘generally in good structural condition’ but that a considerable amount of money would need to be expended to bring the buildings up to modern standards and requirements. ‘The high cost of repair and improvement’, the report concluded, emanated, ‘from the uneconomic planning of the Friary and the height of the Church’.
