Letter

1846084 St. Charles Houben, C.P., Miscellaneous: Memorabilia: Snuff Box: Ms leter from Alfred Robert Arnold, 7 Wentworth Road, Manor Park, E.12 (Dublin?), possibly to Vice-Postulator. concerning a snuff box, which he states belonged to Fr. Charles and which he would like to donate to Mount Argus. It is not clear whether this actually happened. A detailed description of the box and how it came to be in his keeping is given. Particularly with regard to the details of the original Passionist donor, Fr. Matthew Kelly, it does not correspond with either of the 2 snuff boxes which we have and which are now in the St. Charles Museum. It seems that this kind offer was not followed up: or, if it was, the snuff box is no longer availible in Mount Argus. It is believed that there a snuff box, alleged to have been used by St. Charles, is located in Munstergeleen. Correspondence with there will have to be undertaken in order to acwertain if that might be the one in question. See also item under serial number 10067 which is a letter auntheticating one of the snuff boxes mentioned above.
