                PRINCIPAL CHAPLAIN  TO THE FORCES (R.C)  9 APR 19  Office:- 23a OLD BOND ST.,  PICCADILLY, W.1   Dear Fr. Nolan,   Many thanks for your letters of the 5th. and 7th. I am glad you <lb/>understand the difficulty of bringing people like Fr. Shaw home, it is not <lb/>everybody who is so patient when they asked for men. You can be <lb/>sure of him and all the other Frs. you require by the date you mention.  Fr. Wrafter will be coming almost immediately and also Fr. Morris, <lb/>the others will come out as quickly as they can be spared.  I will try what I can do with regard to the passages to Australia. <lb/>I am rather afraid that all these ships are attended by their own Chaplains <lb/>going home. <seg type="closer"> With kindest regards. <lb/>Yours very sincerely,  Signed. J. Stratton. A.P.C.   STAFF OFFICER  10 PRINCIPLES CHAPLAIN  (R.G)  </seg>
