Charles and which he would like to donate to Mount Argus. It is not clear whether this actually happened. A detailed description of the box and how it came to be in his keeping is given. Particularly with regard to the details of the original Passionist donor, Fr. Matthew Kelly, it does not correspond with either of the 2 snuff boxes which we have and which are now in the St. Charles Museum.
