Description (What the record is about)
-
Letters sent by Fr. O'Neill, beginning with him writing from several locations whilst en-route to India. Having landed in Bombay, Fr. O'Neill quickly moves on to Allahabad and stays there until the end of March, before again moving on this time to Bankipore, Patna. There, along with Doctor Thomas Craister, he stays for the remainder of the year in a House which they have let from the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts. Includes; ff. 34-35: have called the new SSJE home 'Evangelist House' rather than 'Mission House'; this is less liable to cause confusion - there are already 'so many Mission Houses' (in Patna), Maundy Thursday 1874. f. 64: sketched scaled plan of the Evangelist House, Bankipore, 9 Jun 1874. ff. 76-79: wonders if Calcutta is 'more suitable' for the type of work done by SSJE than Bankipore; lists the reasons 'for' and 'against' staying at Bankipore and those 'for' moving to Calcutta, 14 Jul 1874. ff. 152-154: accounts for the period 29 Mar 1874-Feb 13 1875.
