A biographical sketch of the life of Dom Columba Marmion OSB titled ‘A Great Irish Benedictine’. The sketch appears to be incomplete (p. 24/26). The remainder of the typescript is a compilation article on various monastic sites associated with Saint Columbanus in Italy including Bobbio Abbey.

An account book titled ‘Book of money received or expended in the building of the new church of St. Mary of the Angels’. The book comprises a record of monies collected and expenditure in financing of the construction of the church. Most of the expenditure is recorded as lodgements on account in the Hibernian Bank Ltd. Several annotations are made in the account book. On 7 June it was recorded: ‘N.B. Very Rev. Daniel Patrick O’Reilly and Fr. Joseph Martin Harkins raised in the National [Bank] the sum of £300 for building purposes. This loan was advanced at three months’ payment – in full. A condition I regard as very much disparaging to our credit. Indeed, if I were allowed to act I would close the account in the National’.
