Paul Mary Pakenham: Death - "The Dead Passionist" - Reprint from the "Nation" obituary by the editor, John Cashel Hoey, seemingly given away as a souvenier at the Ovada Bazaar (1913), to judge from a pencilled note on it. It is reprinted in the Ovada souvenier magazine and also as an appendix to Joseph Smith's biography of Paul Mary.

Paul Mary Pakenham: Death - letter from his mother, Georgiana Emma Charlotte Lygon, from Brighton. Sorry to hear of his illness. Though circumstances have divided them these last few years, her love and affection for him is the same as ever. Hopes he recovers from this illness as he has from so many others. Joseph Smith in his biography of Paul Mary gives her name as Georgiana, but Declan O'Sullivan repeatedly gives it as Georgina. As the database in Sts. John and Paul gives her name as Georgiana, it would seem that that is her correct name.
