General

Correspondence. Tells of The London Times article which attacked Jaegerstaetter. Quotes: "Apparently some of the Austrian hero's words had been manufactured after his death. Historical records show the martyr to have been a poorly educated, rather inarticulate man. And there was suspicion that he had acted politically and not solely out of Christian conviction." Encloses a copy of his letter in protest. Asks him to do what he can to correct the misunderstandings of the Holy Father and keep him informed of any developments.
