Income and expenditure ledger for the Capuchin community at Rochestown Friary in County Cork. The monthly accounts contain entries relating to income derived from masses, funerals, collections, questing, alms, the sale of livestock, Third Order of St. Francis subscriptions, transfers from other Capuchin houses, and retreats given by the friars. The expenditure accounts relate to routine expenses such as the wages of lay employees, transport, utilities, general maintenance, insurance, postage and minor repairs. The entries are routinely signed by the Guardian and by the Provincial Minister during visitations.
