Item 26/1/1/32 - 1852009 Pakenham, Fr, Paul Mary, C.P., His Books:

1852009 Pakenham, Fr, Paul Mary, C.P., His Books:
A bound note book with a metal clasp containining quotatioins or thoughts in the handwriting of Paul May Pakenham. A note on the inside of the cover states that it was given by Paul Mary to "Alphonsus of the Blessed Virigin Mary, Passionist". This was Fr. Alphonsus O'Neill, C.P., who in turn gave it to his sister, Sr. Mary Alphonsus of the Passion, on 5 July, 1873. She evidently, donated it to the Passionists. Alphonsus was sent to Rome in 1853 to pursue his studies for the priesthood and remained there until 1857. (He was ordained in 1856) Paul Mary was Spiritual Director of the Students from St. Josph's Province in Rome from October, 1855 until June 18560, when he was recalled to take up positiin as first Rector of Mount Argus, so he could have given the bok to Alphonsus. (CAVE: discuss with Briam Mulcahy whether the writing is in fact Paul Mary Pakenham's - in view of MS letter at the back, dated as 1875 Writng seem similar to the other entries!!!)
