Description	15 letters in Latin signed by Luis Martin, Superior General, commenting on the running and organisation of the Church of the Holy Name, Manchester and occasionally other Jesuit houses, usually at Preston and Bedford Leigh. Praise is given for the large numbers drawn to the church, to the large and thriving Sodalities and for disputing against the Protestants. Attention is also drawn to some less welcome aspects, including to the large debt, to female servants, especially cooks, at Preston and to the reports that Vaughan, when in London, drove dangerously in a fast carriage.
