Letter to Fr. Edwin Fitzgibbon OFM Cap. from Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. (21 Oct. 1936) re the financial situation of 'The Capuchin Annual' and 'The Father Mathew Record'. Fr. Senan insists that the publications office is ‘solvent’. He adds ‘I am about half-ways through with the 1937 'Annual'. 21,000 copies will be printed. The gross revenue from this edition will be £4,125. … The total cost of the production will be £2,500. The gross profit £1,625; from £800 to £1,000 net profit’. Several account statements are attached including 'The Father Mathew Record' expenses, Sept. 1931-Aug. 1932; distribution accounts for the St. Anthony of Padua publication; Receipt and expenses for 'The Capuchin Annual', 1930-2; Outstanding advertising accounts for 'The Father Mathew Record' and 'The Capuchin Annual', Aug. 1932.
