ST. MICHAEL’S COLLEGE LISTOWEL.

December 8th, 1903: ” To the Editor of The Kerry People.

Sir,—Kindly publish the following letters and subscription list, which I have been prevented, by  pressure of other business, from sending to the Press before now.—Truly-yours, JOHN BREEN.

Estate Office, Listowel, October 26, 1903 Dear Fr. Breen—I enclose with great pleasure Lord Listowel’s subscription of fifty pounds (£50) to your building fund. With many congratulations on the progress you have, made.—I am, yours very faithfully, •James D. Crosbie.

The Rev. John Breen,

President St. Michael’s College.

Limerick, October 29, 1903. John Macaulay, Esq., Listowel. Dear Sir,—We are pleased to be able to respond to your appeal on behalf of the College at Listowel, -which appears to have been fulfilling a very useful purpose in the neighbourhood. It would clearly be almost a disaster to the cause of local education, were it to be closed through lack of necessary funds. Enclosed is cheque for twenty five guineas.—James Bannatyne and Sons, Ltd. J. E. Goodbody, Director.

St. Clair, Schuylkill County, Penna., U.S.A.

Mr. M. J. Nolan, J.P.

 My Dear Sir,—As one of the students who entered St. Michael’s College, Listowel, in the spring of ’79, a few  weeks after it had been opened, I congratulate you and the other laymen, and the  clergy of North Kerry, who are taking such an interest in its welfare and  preventing its destruction, now seriously threatened. I enclose a money order for five pounds to be devoted to the repairs, so sadly needed, of my Alma Mater, in order that the rising male generation of North Kerry may have at their doors the means of obtaining a sound education. The sum I send is small, but we here, priests and people, have many calls, oftentimes very pressing and needing to be attended to. I expect to spend within a year the sum of one thousand on the Church property. All of which must be collected by me from the congregation or from outsiders. I sincerely hope you yourself and family are enjoying health and happiness, as also all the old friends. I am very well, though busy devising means for my intended improvements.—sincerely yours, John J. O’Connor.

374, Park-street, South Melbourne.

 My Dear Michael,—I enclose money order for three guineas for St. Michael’s College Repairs Fund. The subscribers are Father Lynch, St. Kilda’s, Melbourne; Father Kennedy, Beechworth, and myself—a guinea each. P.J. Nolan.

M. J. Nolan, Esq., J.P.
