Blessed Charles - Cause:- Informative Process - letter from Cuthbert Dunne, Highgate, to Gerald O'Boyle. Papers relating to the cause have been found and are being sent to Ardoyne for collection by Mount Argus. They contain (a) original process in Latin and an Italian translation of same, (b) English rendering in brochure form, (c) envelope containing many letters re cures, (d) pencil translation of a hymn and post-communion prayer from the missal in Charle's own writing (e) exercise book titled "record of miracles effected by Fr. Charles", (f) a number of Latin forms for recording the evidence of witnesses at the Tribunal. These will give Gerald somethng substantial to work on. They are also evidence that Oswald Donnelly did much of, what he called, the spade-work in the cause. (N.B. At date of entering these details, none of the items mentioned above, with the exception of the witnesses forms, seem to have survived.)

Blessed Charles - Cause:- Informative Process - letter from Cuthbert Dunne, Highgate, to Gerald O'Boyle (in reply to a letter from Gerald to the Provincial seeking documentation in connection with the cause). Cuthbert has searched but can find no dcuments. Provincial had asked Placid Stevens to forward whatever documents Oswald Donnelly had collected. Seems he has failed to do so. Cuthbert will forward Gerald's leter to him in the hope that it may prompt him to move in the matter. (N.B. Placid had already written Gerald on 29/01/1928 stating that he had sent all documents that were at his disposal - see item umder serial no. 6108).

Blessed Charles - Cause:- Informative Process - letter from Oswald Donnelly, C.P., to Dr., Matthew Condur Marmion, The White House, Dungannon, Co., Tyrone, asking if he is willing to give evidence at the Informative Process concerning the alleged cure by Fr. Charles of a Miss Mary Jane Martyn? (N.B. A letter from Dr. Marmion concerning this cure is quoted on pp 179-181 in "The Life of Fr. Charles" published in 1893 and details of the cure are included on p 23 of The Articles Proposed For The Informative Process (see item under serial no. 3590).

Blessed Charles - Cause:- Informative Process - letter from Dr. Matthew Condur Marmion, The White House, Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, in reply to that of 28/05/1923 from Oswald Donnelly (see item under serial no. 6103). He will be willing to give evidence concerning the cure of Mary Jane Martyn for the Informative Process, but may find getting away dificult due to his medical practice. Would also be expensive. Suggests that someone be sent to call on him to whom he would make a sworn statement. There is no indication as to what happened in this case: but his testemony must have been given as the case is included on p 23 of The Articles Proposed For The Informative Process (see item under serial no, 3590)

Blessed Charles - Cause:- Informative Process - letter from James Terence Matthew O'Toole, Newbridge, Co. Kildare, recounting his cure, by Fr. Charles, from the "falling sickness" when he was 5 years old.

Blessed Charles - Cause:- Informative Process - letter from Bernard Mangan, St. Mungo's, to Gerald O.Boyle. He lived with Charles for 3 years and will be glad to help in an way he can.

Blessed Charles - Cause;- Informative Process - letter from Rev. T,O'Donnell, Archbishop's Secretary to Gerald O'Boyle regarding the appointment of a second notary (Notarius Actuarius). Law provides for only one notary and archbishop wishes to have a second appointed to assist and replace Fr. O'Donnell when he is not able to attend sessions of the process. A notarius actuarius is quite different from an notarius adiunctis who "comes on later in the game" and so, evidently, could not act as O'Donnell's replacement. Gerald should, therefore, get in touch with the Postulator for the appointment of two notarii actuarii.

Blessed Charles - Cause;- Informative Process - letter from Placid Stevens, Sutton, to Gerald O'Boyle stating that he can be of no help as a witness. Only remembers one priest who was a student with Charles but never had a private conversation with him. Mentions that the Dutch process treated of Charles's entire life and what happened after his death. Oswald Donnelly, in his research, must have consulted the Belgian archives. If some official document is required, he suggests that Gerald should contact either the Bishop of Roermund or the Dutch Vice-Postulator, Fr. Edmund.

Blessed Charles - Cause;- Informative Process - letter from Malachy Gavin, Highgate, to Gerald O'Boyle. He will be coming to give evidence. Gives details of the return travel arrangements that he wants Gerald to make for him.

Blessed Charles - Cause;- Informative Process - letter from Fr. Brendan Keegan (https://passionistarchives.ie/index.php/fr-brendan-keegan/ ), writing from St. Mary's Convent, Southam, Warrickshire, where he is giving a retreat, to Gerald O'Boyle, who had evidenty asked Fr. Keegan to consult the novitiate archives at Broadway for information on Charles. Unfortunately, those archives are of the smallest dimensions, everything having been parcelled up and sent to The Graan on the transfer of the novitiate there. The "Professed Archives" have yielded no information, nor has the platea which have been carefully written up from the change from Woodchester to Broadway. Very sorry that he has not been able to be of any assistance.
