But in the fall of 1938, LaFarge had realized the Pope still had not received the draft, and sent a letter to Pius XI where he implied that Ledochowski had the document in his possession. Pius XI demanded that the draft be delivered to him, but did not receive it until 21 January 1939 with a note from Ledochowski, who warned that the draft's language was excessive and advised caution. Pius XI planned to issue the encyclical following his meeting with bishops on 11 February, but died before both the meeting and encyclical's promulgation could take place.
