No! No! No!
April 7, 1993
Fr. Peter Conley, who answers to Cardinal Law, did not think that papal teachings were in vogue, but did not neglect to wish me a happy Easter!

Dear Mrs. Grayson:
Your second unsolicited manuscript, which you insist The Pilot publish, arrived this morning. I choose not to publish it.
With every good wish for a Happy Easter.
Sincerely,
Fr. Peter Conley
