Paul Mary Pakenham - The Passionist: letter from Joseph Smith to Patrick Fagan, Rector at Merrickvale, Sydney, which sets forth a series of questions concerning Fr. Paul Mary he would like put to Laurence Carr. As Laurence was a contemporary of, and lived with, Paul Mary in Mount Argus, his answers would assist Joseph in writing his biography of Paul Mary.

Paul Mary Pakenham - The Passionist: letter from Patrick Fagan conveying answers from Laurence Carr to further queries from Joseph Smith.

On verso p.3 there are short notes in Joseph's handwriting re Paul Mary's mortifications, his drill-walking of novices and his talent for sketching.

Paul Mary Pakenham - Family Background: Letter from Herbert Chitty, Secretary Winchester College, in reply to previous correspondence from Joseph (see particularly 2/2/1/4 and 2/2/1/3). Chitty has followed up previous enquiries regarding the question of C.R. P's ( Paul Mary's) having been a pupil at Winchester, particularly the possibility that Thomas Alexander Pakenham whose name appears on the Commoner's register might have been mistaken for Charles Reginald. Chitty satisfied that this could not have happened as Thomas Alexander's name appears on the MS address book of those attending the annual Wyckehamist (name given to those who had been pupils) dinner from 1860/1890. He also states that the "Italian 'life' of C.R.P., that Joseph had mentioned is in the "regions of romance" as neither Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar nor the Earl of March was an alumnus of Winchester College. Copy of this "Italian Life!" is located at 2/2/7/29.

Paul Mary Pakenham - Family Background: Copy extract of a letter from Fr. Joseph Smith, in Carmarthan, to Fr. Austin Tierney in which he answers an enquiry re a statement in his 1915 biography of Fr. Paul Mary, that P.M's birthplace at 10 Ruthland (now Parnell) Square "now serves as the premises of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland and similar institutions of Irish Protestant bigotory". Query had been raised by a "Gill's reader" in connection with the reissue of "the life" (which took place in 1930). The Orange Lodge situation had been verified when Joseph was writing the "life". In an extract from a later letter also on this sheet, he promised to correct this point "about the "Orange Lodge", which he did as follows: "the house later served as the premises of the Grand Orange Lodge etc.". He also wondered what the house is used for now.
