Letter

Paul Mary Pakenham - Family Background: Copy extract of a letter from Fr. Joseph Smith, in Carmarthan, to Fr. Austin Tierney in which he answers an enquiry re a statement in his 1915 biography of Fr. Paul Mary, that P.M's birthplace at 10 Ruthland (now Parnell) Square "now serves as the premises of the Grand Orange Lodge of Ireland and similar institutions of Irish Protestant bigotory". Query had been raised by a "Gill's reader" in connection with the reissue of "the life" (which took place in 1930). The Orange Lodge situation had been verified when Joseph was writing the "life". In an extract from a later letter also on this sheet, he promised to correct this point "about the "Orange Lodge", which he did as follows: "the house later served as the premises of the Grand Orange Lodge etc.". He also wondered what the house is used for now.
