Bestanddeel 13 - John Henebry Correspondence

Correspondence and papers assembled by John (Seán) Henebry (also known as Eoin de Hindeberg), a younger brother of Fr. Richard Henebry. John Henebry died in 1937. The file includes several postcards written (in Irish) by Fr. Richard Henebry to his brother while on the continent in 1913. The photographic print shows an unidentified coastal location. The file also includes a letter from Patrick J. Merriman (Registrar, University College Cork) to John Henebry on his regret that Fr. Richard’s ‘manuscript on Irish music cannot be found’, adding ‘it is a loss to the country’ (25 Apr. 1916). Other letters (Fr. Patrick Power and Joseph Downey, Secretary, University College Cork) express condolences on the death of Fr. Richard on 17 March 1916. A note from Sir Bertram Windle encloses two clippings from the ‘Manchester Guardian’ (28-9 March 1916) containing tributes to the late priest. The file also includes a letter (in Irish) to John Henebry from Seán Ó Currín (28 May 1921).
