Transcript by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. of an appeal seeking support for a number of Capuchin friars ‘expelled under circumstances of peculiar hardship from the Nantes Convent’, as a result of the ‘policy of persecution adopted by the present French ministry’. The appeal may have been made in circa 1880. The appeal refers to the need to expand Holy Trinity Friary, and to ‘the heavy charge of forty religious actually dependent on a house, already full and heavily weighted with a large ground rent for Church and Convent and with building work on hand’. Subscriptions are to be directed to Fr. Simeon Gaudillot OSFC, Commissary General, Mr. Thomas Lyons, JP, Passage West, and others. The original printed appeal is extant in a volume at CA HT/7/20.
