Read it through and you will fail to find a single reference to ‘Der relige Dr Martin Luther in it’ (28 Feb. 1911). The letters from Windle refer to matters relating to Henebry’s Professorship of Irish in University College Cork and to the latter’s declining health.

Copies of letters of An tAthair Peadar Ó Laoghaire to Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. and ‘Sister Joseph’. The copies are on ‘The Capuchin Annual / Church Street / Dublin’ headed paper and were probably compiled by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. The letter to Fr. Albert (17 Sept. 1906) reads ‘The word “léighean” comprises every sort of literary speech as distinguished from oral speech, i.e., books of all sorts, whether written or printed’.

Three bound volumes of newspaper clippings containing Irish texts and some translations written by An tAthair Peadar Ó Laoghaire. The titles of the texts include the lives of Saint Brigid and Saint Patrick. Some of the articles refer to the ‘coming of the faith to Ireland’. Most of the article clippings seem to have been taken from the ‘Cork Examiner’.
