A file of letters from An tAthair Peadar Ó Laoghaire, Castlelyons (Caisleán Ó Liatháin), County Cork. The letters primarily relate to Ó Laoghaire’s publications on the Irish language and various grammatical, translation, and textual issues. The letters are seemingly addressed to a religious sister (possibly Sister Treasa le hÍosa or Sister Teresa Curtis). The file includes one letter to Ó Laoghaire from Sister Treasa le hÍosa, St. Clare’s Convent, Carlow. The letter dated 1899 is addressed to ‘Conchubhair’. One of Ó Laoghaire’s letters (31 May 1915) reads ‘I say it is quite possible for the translation of the original into one language to be superior to a translation of the same original into another language’. Reference is also made to Mairéad Ní Raghallaigh, one of the founders of the Irish Book Company. The file includes transcripts of some of the letters compiled by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. An annotated envelope in the file reads ‘I think this a letter from Fr. Peter O’Leary, Castlelyons, County Cork’. The cover is addressed to Fr. Peter Bowe OSFC, Church Street Friary, Dublin.
