Scope and content
The subseries comprises a collection of articles written by Sophie (Raffalovich) O’Brien (1860-1960), the wife of William O’Brien (1852-1928), the Irish nationalist and agrarian agitator. A covering envelope in the file notes that the manuscripts were given to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. by Mrs Clifton of 24 Olivemount Grove, Dundrum, Windy Arbour, in Dublin. The note affirms that the material could potentially be published in either the ‘The Capuchin Annual’ or in ‘The Father Mathew Record’. It is also noted that Sophie O’Brien is currently living in ‘very straitened circumstances’ in France and requires financial assistance. The file includes manuscript and typescript copies of an article titled ‘Andre Raffalovich and John Gray’. Other article titles include ‘Looking back, a melody of recollections by Mrs William O’Brien’, ‘Recollections of Mallow, Sister Margaret’, ‘Domestic agreements and disagreements by Mrs William O’Brien’, ‘The Cork courthouse in flames by Mrs William O’Brien’, and ‘Before our marriage by Mrs William O’Brien’.
