Holograph letter from Bishop William Codd, Wexford, to Hagan. Reporting latest details concerning Mount St. Benedict, and Abbot Ramsay's report to the congregation. Canon Lee has been making enquiries for Codd, talking among others to Fr. Goolden O.S.B., and being met by a crowd in support of the school, including Mrs. Gavan Duffy. Some parishioners went back on what they had said before, including Mary Comerford. In Maynooth, the bishops disagreed with Abbot Ramsay's assertion that education and religion would suffer were the school closed.

Oher supporters are John Dillon, Mrs. Stafford Greene, Eoin MacNeill, a Labour Party committee, and presumably McSweeney. Restating his stance that he opposes the continuation of the school under Fr. Sweetman's superiorship.
