Bestanddeel 12 - Correspondence between Thomas W. Bewley, secretary, W & R. Jacob & Co. Ltd., and Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap.

Correspondence between Thomas W. Bewley, secretary, W. & R. Jacob & Co. Ltd., and Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap. regarding a cheque for £25 given by the directors of Jacobs to the Capuchins as a mark of appreciation ‘for the deep sense of thankfulness that our Factory was spared from serious injury during the time of the recent rebellion’. Includes a copy reply from Fr. Aloysius returning the said cheque. He writes ‘Any services that I may have rendered during the recent sad crisis were such as … any other priest in the same circumstances would render’. Fr. Aloysius suggests that the cheque should more fittingly be sent to the Lord Mayor’s Fund for the Relief of Distress.
