Circular letter from the Most Rev. Denis Kelly, Bishop of Ross, Bishop’s House, Skibbereen, regarding the number of Irish chaplains in the British Army and Navy. Distinctions are made between incardinated secular clergy and regulars ‘who have gone from the Irish Houses of their respective Provinces’.
