Scope and content
Letter from Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap. to Fr. Mark McDonnell OFM Cap. Guardian, Capuchin Friary, Church Street, Dublin. Fr. Dominic refers to the existence of archives relating to the early history of the Irish Province extant in the Capuchin General Archives in Rome. He wrote: ‘the opinion was growing stronger in my mind … as I was advancing in the MSS that there must be a report of the Commissary Provincial about date 1711 in our own Archives in Rome and possibly also in the Propaganda ones. Perhaps a copy may be found even in Milan as many manuscripts were sent the Historian General of the Order at one time’. With cover.
