Letter from James J. Darragh, 154 North King Street, to Lieutenant McNamara thanking Boys’ Brigade members for their messages of condolence on the death of his mother. Darragh added ‘All I can say is that as long as I am connected with the Brigade (and which I intend to be for many years I hope, in spite of the many mean tricks that are being resorted to try to get me out of it), I will always look after the interests of the officers …’.
Memorial to the Lord Mayor and Aldermen of Dublin from the Burgesses of Inns Quay and Arran Quay referring to the ‘great want of proper dwelling house accommodation’ suitable for the ‘upwards of 180 persons’ engaged in business at the new food market. The memorial requests that the Corporation widen Mary’s Lane and erect proper artisans’ houses. A list of subscribers (and their addresses) is appended to the memorial. The list includes John Jameson, Fr. Nicholas Murphy OSFC and many local vegetable and fruit sellers.
Photographic print of John Atkinson’s shop at 45 Church Street, Dublin. A manuscript annotation on the print reads ‘Church Street’. The print is also annotated indicating the numbers of houses on the street. Of particular interest are the advertisements for various newspapers on the hoardings outside the shop. They include (most prominently) the ‘Irish Worker’ founded by Jim Larkin in 1911 as a pro-labour alternative to the capitalist-owned press. It was eventually suppressed for its vigorous anti-war policy in 1915. Other prints advertised include ‘Irish Freedom’, which first appeared in 1910 and continued as a monthly publication until December 1914 when it too was suppressed by the British authorities. The ‘Catholic Bulletin’ was launched in January 1911 by Patrick Keohane. It originally acted as a review journal for Catholic literature but became increasingly strident in its advocacy of advanced nationalist politics.

Copy print of the rear of St. Mary of the Angels as seen from Bow Street. The main entrance to the adjoining Friary building is seen on the left. The copy black and white print is possibly taken from 'The Capuchin Annual'. An annotation (in the hand of Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap.) reads ‘Capuchin Church from Bow Street’.
