File of draft letters regarding the question of transferring the administration of All Hallows College from the Vincentians to the Maynooth Mission for China, which was run by the Columbans, The suggestion came about due to the declining number of students, as well as the need of the Maynooth Mission for China for a major seminary for their own students. The letters show that the Vincentians do not want this transfer to take place. Some drafts are written by Father Thomas O'Donnell CM, Rector of All Hallows College, and there are contributions by Henry O'Connor CM, Provincial.
