St. Gabriel's Retreat: The Graan: Enniskillen: 2 writing-pad leaves: MS: Fr. SYLVIUS Rudden, CP, Rector, The Graan, Enniskillen, to Fr Provincial, Mt Argus, Dublin. Supply of water difficulties at Graan: Local Chapter decided a pump should be sunk. An estimate says cost will be £160, for work listed. Sylvius pleads with Prov. to approve. The firm (English) does a lot of this type of work (3 successful wells locally; and one at Maynooth - a difficult job). Sylvius hopes to pay expense out of £1,000 they hope to save this year.
St. Gabriel's Retreat: The Graan: Enniskillen: typed copy MS from the Provincial, Mount Argus, to the Rector, The Graan. If Mrs. Donnelly puts place up for auction, should not let her know our proposed price. Would manifest no particular interest. She will only get between £16 and £18 per acre, while we would be prepared to pay £20 for the convenience of the land. Let the place go to action but do not show our hand.
St. Gabriel's Retreat: The Graan: Enniskillen: Letter-pad page: MS: Fr SYLVIUS Rudden, CP, Rector, The Graan, Enniskillen, to Fr Provincial Mt Argus Dublin. Quality of water is destroying the pipes; the pump keeps giving-up. So, either well is sunk now or money be spent un-necessarily for a new pump.
St. Gabriel's Rereat: The Graan: Enniskillen: Draft of reply to the Graan re proposed expenditure on new water supply: 1) Consultors' opinions obtained, 2) all Curia are agreed that IF an assured water supply could be had for £160 , would be great. 3) But, will Borers give this assurance?

Prov. has no mony: Sends Note for Bank (to authorise request. for £2,000). Statement of Accs. OK; but watch it. Alexis is not to draw on Provincial a/c beyond £9,000. Paying off that £2,000 was very good; hopes the £500 by May will come off. Prov. thinks the £11,551 + £100/200 should clear all. Alexis to get further details from contractors. This for the Consulta.
