This section includes letters to Capuchins referring to Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap., his ministry to prominent republicans, his exile in the United States, and his death. The section includes a copy of a letter written by Fr. Albert to Fr. Juan Antonio de San Juan en Persiceto OFM Cap., Minister General of the Capuchin Franciscans, enclosing a vigorous statement defending his conduct during the revolutionary period and, in particular, his ministering to imprisoned republicans (CA IR-1-1-2-4-6).
The sub-series contains a collection of printed books, church plate, relics and ephemera associated with Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC. Some of these objects were used for exhibition purposes by the Capuchin friars at commemorative events marking anniversaries associated with the temperance campaign.
