Aet. 27, to his mother. This letter admits George Moore’s designs on the second wife of Ranulphe Marie Eustache, Marquis d’Osmond. It casts doubt on his cousin Arthur O’Conor who had been a fellow pupil (and dropout) at Oscott College ten years earlier; later Arthur became a colleague of Maurice Moore in the Connaught Rangers. It shrugs off an overture from the Rev. John Burke, C.M., a Professor of Moral Theology at the Irish College in Paris. And closes with greetings to his sister Nina.
