A letter and notes from Conor A. Maguire re his article titled ‘Republican Courts’ in 'The Capuchin Annual' (1969). Maguire provides some additional detail in relation to the photographic of the Republican Court sitting in Westport in 1920 (p. 383). The note reads: ‘I recognise John Kelly, later County Registrar, and J.C. Garvey, Solicitor, Castlebar, from whom I received the photograph after the Truce. He told me that he had arranged to have it taken and had kept it hidden behind the shutters in his office. Noticeable at the back are two of the IRA Police, easily identifiable, as they stand at attention with their caps on. One, I understand, was Seán Gibbons’
A view of Annestown (in Irish ‘Bun Abha’, meaning ‘river’s end’), a small coastal village in County Waterford, in about 1955. The tower of the Church of Saint John the Baptist is visible in the image. This small-scale rural church was constructed by the Board of First Fruits, an institution of the Church of Ireland, which was established in 1711 to build and improve Anglican churches and rectories in Ireland. The Church of Saint John the Baptist in Annestown dates to about 1822.
An image of a roadside spring in County Meath in about 1960. An annotation on the reverse of the print reads 'Built for passing traffic a century ago in Meath'.
An image of a resident of Arranmore, an island off the west coast of County Donegal. A manuscript annotation on the reverse of the print reads 'Off to the bog, Arranmore Island, County Donegal'.

Fr. Augustine Hayden OFM Cap. with pupils at the Capuchin Seraphic School, Rochestown, County Cork. Identifiable individuals include: Fr. Augustine Hayden OFM Cap.

Damascene Kenny OFM Cap. (1873-1913) (standing adjacent to third row). Patrick Joseph Collins (first row, first on the left). (later Fr. Ignatius Collins, 1885-1961).
A view of (second on the left) Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap., with Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. and a diocesan cleric (with a biretta). The image probably forms part of a series of photographs of a pilgrimage to Lough Derg which includes CA PH/1/1 and CA PH/1/16 and CA PH/1/60.
