F.S Archbishop's House Wodehouse Rd Bombay 22 Sept. 1918 Dear Reverend FrProvincial, P.C. I am still at 65 British General
Hospital, but keep the old address. Masses for
September for FrFarley, 20. It is the first
time since I don't know when, that I have the
full number to report. I am writing tohim also, in
case of accidents. All still going well. The
latest addition toourmedical staff is Doctor
Dillon-Kelly, FrRobert's brother. I was delighted
when I found who he was, as I am 'stranded' as
far as Papist officers are concerned. He told me
FrJames Daly was in a private asylum. I did
not know that. Some one sent the 'Mungret
Annual', I suppose it is Fr Frost. It was very
welcome. I mentioned to Fr Farley in my last
note that I had met Frank Flanagan. I
hear from an old Ranger that FrHartigan's
grave in Amara is well cared for, and has a
good Cross erected over it. He says also it is
marked out with a special border. Clouds have once more appeared in our skies,
and two days ago it rained heavily round the
horizon. There is hope at last. I commend myself tothe prayers ofall.
Your Reverence's servant in Christ, FrancisMShaw S.J.
