This pre-prepared financial volume records the income and expenditure accounts of the Capuchin Friary in Rochestown, County Cork. Originally printed for the Capuchin Friary on Charlotte Quay, Cork—as indicated by the gilt-stamped title on the front cover—the ledger was subsequently repurposed to track the finances of the Rochestown house. The expenditure sections document both routine operational costs (such as foodstuffs, coal, fuel, travel, clothing, stationery, and postage) and major capital expenses relating to building works on the new friary. The income sections track community revenue generated from church collections, masses, alms, questing, donations, retreats, and student or resident pensions. Significantly, the ledger notes administrative milestones and structural changes, including a November 1886 memorandum written by the Rector, Fr. Peter Bowe OFM Cap., recording the transfer of the novitiate and the establishment of the Seraphic School at Rochestown. The closing page features a financial addendum detailing a final payment of £268 17s 5d transferred to a subsequent volume by Fr. Peter, compiled from bills and statements provided by the Vicar Capitular of the Friary, Fr. Sebastian O’Brien OFM Cap. The accounts are routinely signed by the Vicar Provincial and Minister Provincial during visitations. Gilt title on front cover reads ‘Capuchin Church / Charlotte Quay’.

Three letters and one supplemental slip from Father Herman Walmesley S.J., at the Collegio Germanico in Rome between January and September 1911. The correspondence primarily details the canon law, administrative protocols, and procedural guidelines required to establish a regular branch of the Sodality of Our Lady (Children of Mary) at Rochestown. Walmesley relies on the expertise of Rome-based sodality authority Father Elder Mullan S.J., to outline permissible avenues of operation. Because establishing an independent branch is restricted without the direct written approbation of the local bishop, the letters propose delegating admissions through existing sodality registries in Dublin. The text of the letters includes references to structural coordination with the editor of the ‘Messenger’ in Dublin, Father Matthew McDonnell S.J., regarding forms of Consecration. The letters also provide updates on Anselm Edward John Kenealy OFM. Cap., the newly appointed Archbishop of Simla in India. The file also includes a letter from Bishop Thomas Alphonsus O’Callaghan appointing Fr. Sebastian O’Brien OFM Cap. director of the sodality in Rochestown.

'The Fenian' was an Anti-Treaty newspaper providing the republican perspective on the course of Civil War hostilities. The paper warns that ‘insidious attempts have been made within the last few days by the English King’s Provisional Ministers to spread the rumour that a truce had been achieved. Under cover of this they hope to weaken the splendid morale of the republican troops and then attack them when off their guard’. The editions were bound together with a note indicating that they belonged to ‘Rev. Fr. Sebastian [O’Brien OFM Cap.], Church Street’.
