Scope and content
An unsigned draft letter to Fr. Benignus Gannon, Provincial Minister of the Order of Friars Minor, enclosing copies of the preliminary rules and constitution of the Catholic Boys’ Brigade. The author requests ‘a statement as to how far your Order on Merchants’ Quay, Dublin, is identified with the said “Catholic Boys’ Brigade” …’. Reference is also made to the need for the three Capuchin friars identified as clerical trustees of the organisation to sign over their trusts.
