re Edenmore
My Lord Archbishop,
At the request of Mother de Pazzi I send you copy of
my firm's Letter of 21st instant to Mr McAuley the Corporation
Valuer.
Mother de Pazzi's difficulty is that she has obtained
Approval from her Council for an expenditure of £12,000 If the
adaitional property were to cost the figure originally estimated-
about £5000- the total cost of the entire property on the basis
of the offer now made by the Corporation wauld be about £16,500.
It Is therefore important that she should know what the total cost
will be (if it exceed £12,600) before she approaches her Mother
General and CounciI again. The Corporation will prebably not
quote an inclusive figure until they have got the result of the
arbitration with regard to the additional property. It will be
some months before a final agreement can be reached.
Believe me
My Lord Archbishop
Most truly yours,
The Most Reverend John C. McQuaid D.D.

Corpus Christi Procession Ardoyne

An image of the Corpus Christi procession leaving the Church of Saints Peter and Paul in Clonmel in County Tipperary. A typescript annotation on the reverse of the print reads ' Corpus Christi Procession, 1938 / The impressive scene as the Blessed Sacrament preceded by altar boys leaving Saints Peter and Paul, Clonmel to head the annual procession'. The photograph is credited to M.A. Keating, Clonmel, County Tipperary.

Two images showing a large procession to the Capuchin Friary, Rochestown, County Cork. The annotated cover reads ‘Procession. Rochestown. 1905’. The photograph shows the Corpus Christi procession to the Capuchin Friary in Rochestown. This annual celebration held at the friary attracted huge crowds from both the city and county in the first two decades of the twentieth century. People travelled by train, by trap or walked to the friary from Cork city. It was the most popular event of the year at Rochestown until 1926 when the first Cork city procession was held.

The subseries comprises a small collection of papers relating to the Irish scholar and writer An tAthair Peadar Ó Laoghaire (Peter O’Leary). Ó Laoghaire was a prominent Irish language activist and member of Conradh na Gaeilge (Gaelic League). He published numerous books and articles on a range of topics, including an autobiography (‘Mo Sgéal Féin’), the first drama in Irish (‘Tadhg saor’), original prose, Irish translations of the Gospels, and translations of medieval Irish texts. The collection includes his letters to Fr. Augustine Hayden OFM Cap. and Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap., two Capuchin friars who shared Ó Laoghaire’s enthusiasm for the promotion of the Irish language. This collection also includes some material relating to Ó Laoghaire’s published work, particularly clippings of his transcriptions and translations of Irish texts, and a manuscript draft of ‘An Craos-Deamhan’. Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. was interested in Ó Laoghaire’s career and sought to promote his contribution to the Irish language. He seemingly acquired most of this material for personal research. The Ó Laoghaire collection was later preserved among Moynihan’s personal papers.

Correspondence between Thomas W. Bewley, secretary, W. & R. Jacob & Co. Ltd., and Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap. regarding a cheque for £25 given by the directors of Jacobs to the Capuchins as a mark of appreciation ‘for the deep sense of thankfulness that our Factory was spared from serious injury during the time of the recent rebellion’. Includes a copy reply from Fr. Aloysius returning the said cheque. He writes ‘Any services that I may have rendered during the recent sad crisis were such as … any other priest in the same circumstances would render’. Fr. Aloysius suggests that the cheque should more fittingly be sent to the Lord Mayor’s Fund for the Relief of Distress.

Personalo news

Correspondence file relating to Christopher J. Brady who along with Michael J. Molloy and Liam Ó Briain, compositors, were responsible for printing the 1916 Proclamation. The Proclamation was composed in Liberty Hall, the headquarters of the Irish Transport and General Workers Union. Liberty Hall was also the location of the printing press, an antiquated Wharfdale Double Crown, used to print Connolly’s ‘The Worker’s Republic’ newspaper. Brady used this press to print the Proclamation on Sunday, 23 April 1916. The file includes a photographic print of Christopher J. Brady and letters mainly regarding requests that he authenticate original copies of the Proclamation. One of the letters (17 June 1934) is from Nellie Gifford-Donnelly to Brady requesting that he and Michael J. Molloy and Liam Ó Briain visit Dr. Kathleen Lynn to authenticate and sign a copy of the 1916 Proclamation in her possession. Both Gifford-Donnelly and Kathleen Lynn were committed nationalists and feminists who had participated in the Rising. Gifford-Donnelly was later instrumental in securing historical documents and objects associated with the Easter Rising. The Proclamation signed by Brady is now on display in the National Museum of Ireland.
