Container Summary

ALS from Helena Concannon, elected to the Gallery of Living Catholic Authors in 1938, to Sister Mary Joseph explains that Concannon did not originally respond to SMJ's invitation because of her "horror of the camera" and because "so many of [her] books are out of print." Refers to Mrs. Ryan, wife of Ireland's Minister for Health and Social Services.
