St. Gabriel's Retreat: The Graan: Enniskillen: MS letter from Fr SYLVIUS Rudden. CP, The Graan, Enniskillen to Fr Provincial, MT Argus, Dublin. Silvius explains that the £160 is only for drilling; pump, engine, piping will also have to be paid for. Tanks on hill will have to be retained. It is useless to think of 'softening' present water. The Debt: Silvius thinks a £ 1,000 a year paying-off is possible, but not if the Well runs into hundreds. Silvius thinks drilling should be done; if the water is satisfactory, go ahead; if not, write it off. Silvius would like two Missioners more for Graan staff.
