  6. Letter from Fr William O'Keeffe SJ to Irish Fr Provincial Thomas V Nolan SJ suggesting that since the current Prefect of Studies Fr James Daly is to be absent, then Fr Provincial should appoint Fr Dominic Kelly SJ as "full" replacement Prefect of Studies, rather than that task being shared by Fr Kelly and Fr Rector, Nicholas J Tomkin SJ (September 1914, 4pp);
  7. Letter from Fr David Gallery SJ to Irish Fr Provincial Thomas V Nolan SJ representing his misgivings about Fr Provincial's desire to send him to Malta. Fr Gallery perceives it as some sort of "punishment" for an unknown transgression (21 June, 1915, 4pp);
