Letters to Fr. Cormac Forrest OFM Cap., guardian, Capuchin Friary, Kilkenny, from the Most Rev. Thomas Keogh, Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin, Braganza, Carlow, regarding the collection of the Bagenlastown quest.

The volume list the names of collectors (probably members of the Third Order of St. Francis), and their sections (each section was organised under a religious name such as ‘St. Francis of Assisi', 'St. Aloysius', 'St. Brigid' etc.). A note dated March 1955 gives details of the amount of money collected which was subsequently given to the spiritual director of the Third Order. A list of novices of the Third Order (with addresses and dates of reception) is extant in the volume.

The volumes list the names and addresses of parishioners in the Diocese of Ossory (and to a lesser extent in the Diocese of Kildare and Leighlin). The lists were probably compiled by the Capuchin friars for the purposes of collecting quest money. The books are divided by geographical and administrative area (mainly townland and parish). Divisions include Rathdowney, Borris-in-Ossory, Castletown, Mountrath, Aghaboe (book IV); Bennetsbridge, Drumbell, Thomastown, Gowran, Castlewarren (book VI).
