Item 3 - Irish College, Rome, 10 March Dr. Christepher Bovlan to L.

3pp

Owing to the vacancy of the Holy See, there will be a delay in granting faculties etc. sought for by L.; thanks L. fer his generous gift of money; it is not true, as some of the bishops state, that Dr. Blake left the Irish College solvent; tbe latter's papers are in complete disorder; Dr. Kelly intends returning to Ireland at Easter; the Roman climate does not suit him; hopes that Catholic Emancipation will prove a blessing to all and that it will be complete.
