As my friend has allowed me to retain the treasure for a time, I intend to give full details on the subject in my Ecclesiastical History.

For further information at present, I refer the reader to the Rev.J.P.

Gaffney's _Religion of the Ancient Irish Church_ p.

43, and to Dr.Moran's learned _Essays_, p.287.I especially request the superiors of religious orders to afford me any information in their possession concerning the history of their respective orders in Ireland, and also of their several houses.
Details of re-erections of religious houses on old sites are particularly desired.

All books or documents which may be forwarded to me shall be carefully returned.
