An image titled 'Fr. Kelly’s Church in the heart of the Flats'. An annotation on the reverse of the print reads 'Typical flat country with occasional roads thro it. But he [Fr. Kelly] has very few residents in such a place. He is very old now and I expect we shall be asked to take it later. He has his own house and four mission churches attached – all built by his own parishioners’ hands’.
