Your Eminence, 

With reference to Letter Prot. No. I C/59-611 of 18th June, 1959, I wish to state that I am on leave from my diocese and have spent some weeks in hospital in London and I am still undergoing treatment.

It has, therefore, been impossible for me to reply to the above letter and I ask Your Eminence to please hold me excused.

With sentiments of filial respect,

 I am,

Yours respectfully in our Lord,

+ RICHARD FINN

     Bishop of Ibadan
