Letter from Fr Charles O'Conor SJ, Gonzaga College, Sandford Road, Dublin to Irish Fr Provincial concerning trees along the avenue marked to be felled. Remarks that it would be preferable if the trees could be cut down during the summer while the pupils were on holidays. Remarks that he would normally discuss such a matter directly with Fr Coyne or Fr Rector at Milltown 'But relations upon points of mutual interest between Milltown and ourselves have proved so delicate at times that it has seemed wise to lay the matter before your Reverence...'
