He is certainly enjoying his vacation. He may not be at Notre Dame next year as Father Morrissey again refused him a room. Morrissey promised his a room as soon as he is a thorough Freshman but there are other boys in Sorin who are not as high in classes as he is who have rooms. But he wouldn't use this as an argument as it might ruin the other boys' happiness.

Scope and Contents Delany acknowledges Purcell's letter. He immediately communicated with the Christian Brothers but they say it is impossible to undertake what Purcell asks. Delany could not obtain their aid for a poor-school in his parish, which is also the parish of their monastery. They were originally monks of the Presentation Order, under the authority of the Bishop, but now they are severed from this. Cork community has always done well in educating boys and recognize the Ordinary as Superior of their...

Scope and Contents Delaunay thanks Perché for the letter which Father Celestin Frain delivered to him along with several circulars which he is going to send to several good families.
