I work at night -- an old habit, of course -- till 2 in the morning' ); praising the first numbers of the new Iris magazine and its review of his latest book; commenting on the volatile state of the Irish Labour Party ( 'It will be interesting to see how the political Vatican will go when we have all the new Cardinals in their new red hats' ); predicting an American Pope and that ' the next big fight will be between the ecclesiastic persons attached, or near attached, to the Vatican, & Militant Socialism ... "'over all shines the Red Star'" , in original envelope.
