 1/9 Chichester Park,Belfast. Sept 17th, 1916 My Dear Mgt. Hogan I am sorry there has been adifficulty in admitting Cullenan as he isa very excellent young man. Some time ago I reminded the President of theCollge about the advisability of seeing thatthis freshman complied with all the Maynoothrequirements. He has a good deal to do and probably forgot all about my warning. If the President and entrance Board caninterpret this rule about Certificates fromDoctors in as a spirit as possible, I will not complain. So if Dr. Redmond doesnot consider the student absolutely unfit toundergo the College routine, perhaps he may bereceived into the the House subject to this provisoThat if his health at any time shows signsof a break-down, the Bishop will remove him. The boy worked very hard in the Seminary,received Honours in Senior grade this year, &never so far as I know complained of .People with weak hearts - sometimes manage tohave a long time. At the same time I will notfind fault with anything the authorities of theCollege deem it their gift - to do in his care. With all kind wishes I remain,Very sincerely yours+ P. Morrisoe P. S.
