| Transcript | Morialta Chambers, Victoria Square, Adelaide 24th Octr. 1923 Dear Robert I regret that we have not met recently, but I wish to mention that I wrote again to Joseph telling him the position of his son Frank. The previous letter I wrote ought to be received by him at the end of this week. I do not recommend the particular piece of land. They gave an estimate of the prices and classes month to month, submitted to applicants such as Frank, for consideration. I wrote again to Frank and told him the difficulty to recommend anything was the absence of knowledge of what the particular lands are like, that it is desirable, if possible to see them, but he cannot do that. Part of the trouble will be working the place up. However, if Joseph chooses to send an amount of deposit such as £100 or £150, expressing in effect his desire to take the land up, an application can be made. It has been a busy time here, in effect successful for visitors, the Archbishops. I had the pleasure of meeting them all on Saturday, as the Mail says, and practically had close communication with most of them in wartime. Many difficulties arose such as interpretation of the Versailles Treaty etc. In one expression to the Lutherans some two years ago I succeeded in stopping the Ministry interfering with the Missions. That interpretation, as received by me as a Minister then dealing with International matters, was made to the Pope by request of Archbishop Ceretti who went to Versailles for information and was of course courteously received. I saw Una yesterday when I went down to the train. She will have a happy six or seven weeks in New South Wales. I wish I had time to run over there myself. In effect the Queensland Archbishop, whom I just saw off wished I could go on to Brisbane. Hoping you are all well, Your affectionate brother, [P. McM. Glynn] |
