Madam, - May I ask your readers for information about William Hackett SJ (1878-1954), whose biography I am writing? He came to Australia in 1922, founded the Central Catholic Library, and was a close friend and confidant of Archbishop Daniel Mannix.
I would be grateful if descendants of William Hackett's father, Dr John Byrne Hackett of Kilkenny, or others who may have letters from William Hackett, or other information, would write to me at the address below. - Yours, etc,
Dr BRENDA NIALL, 15 Wiringa Avenue, Camberwell, 3124 Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. bniall@bigpond.com .
