Other writers of letters include: Henry J Wessling SJ and Joseph Stadelman SJ, Paul Leonard SJ, Leonard Boase SJ, Mike Hannan SJ, Robert Mills SJ, LW Geddes SJ, and Arthur Kavanagh SJ. One of the letters contains a description of the Blind Crusade. Some of the correspondance from the 1960's relates to the founding of the Catholic Assocation for the blind.
