A file of letters from Fr Daniel Clancy SJ to Fr Provincial concerning the Australian Mission.

But the time to secure that is now most urgently - or never.' (5 August 1881, 8pp). Includes a letter asking for more Fathers to be sent out. Refers to rumours of a new mission being started in Invercargill, New Zealand.
