Scope and content

Letter from Robert Barton, Glendalough House, Annamoe, County Wicklow, to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. congratulating him on the latest edition of ‘The Capuchin Annual’ which he describes as a ‘work that reflects credit to the whole nation’. He also refers to his own contribution to the ‘Annual’. He also mentions his great friendship with the late Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. who gave him the Father Mathew temperance pledge. He adds ‘The little medal he gave me was on my watch chain when I entered Portland Gaol but I was unable to recover any property when released, so I am bound by a Capuchin pledge until death’.
