Clongowes Wood College Sallins 7 - 6 - 16 Very Rev & dear Fr Provincial P C I have heard the following on
excellent authority & I think it well
your Reverence should know it. Some French S J S from Milltown Park
visit frequently Mr De Longchamps French
Consul & have reported to him that the Irish
Jesuits were Sinn Feiners — pro German — anti
French. — Little disputes that turn up
in recreation in Milltown Park are
reported to him. Mr De Longchamps believes
all these & at a recent visit here
showed him to have the idea that we
Irish Jesuits are anti French & Sein Feiners 2 At a visit that a French boy C Arnold
paid to the Consul he was asked what
views were held by the Community &
boys in Clongowes. Arnold said
we were Sein Feiners. I am afraid the
Milltown Park people may do harm
I don't think the Consul would place much
reliance on Arnold's statement. Fr Corr said their report had it that the O'Rahilly
was a Clongownian. I told him not to take any
notice or to try to verify it. If it is the
case ought we to mention this death in
the Clongownian? Yours obediently in tr N J Tomkin S J
