Extract from a confidential report from Michael MacWhite
to Joseph P. Walshe (Dublin)
(Confidential)

Although audiences with the Pope are, as a rule, suspended during Holy Week, Mr. Gray hopes to be able to have a few minutes with him on Saturday when he proposes to consult him in regard to the elimination of the Boundary between Northern and Southern Ireland. During his stay in London he intends calling on the Secretary of the Dominions and other Cabinet Ministers with the same object in view. He hopes to be able to make an important contribution to the solution of the question and stated that President Roosevelt had this matter in his mind when nominating him to the Irish post.
