A letter from Dan Fraher (Domhnall Ua Fearachair), Dungarvan, County Waterford, to Fr. Richard Henebry referring to various consultations he has had with doctors regarding the possibility that he may have Bright’s disease. He adds ‘The 2 doctors told me never to touch liquor but if I did good whiskey was the best. I am told old Bowers is very good I believe in erbs. I also believe the old women in the county 50 years ago could cure all these diseases with erbs’.

Fr. Casimir Butler OFM Cap. at the rear of St. Theresa's Friary in Livingstone. The original caption reads: ‘In 1910 he left Ireland to help out in Hermiston, Oregon in the United States. Casimir began work and soon he had built a small church. Before he left Hermiston, Casimir built three mission churches. Casimir embarked on a new adventure, going to Cape Town, helping to establish a Capuchin presence there and then Zambia (then called Northern Rhodesia) where the Irish Capuchin Province had established a new mission. The Livingstone government had set aside a plot for a Catholic church and house. Casimir hired a contractor to build a house: ever since known as “217” (PO Box). Casimir was fifty-five years old when he arrived and was not in good health’.
