Documento 35 - Receipt and Expenditure Book

85 pp; 40.5 cm x 17.5 cm; Bound volume; Manuscript

Receipt and expenditure book of the Capuchin community of St. Mary of the Angels, Church Street. Most of the income entries relate to monies received from mass and vespers’ collections and chaplaincy duties. Occasional reference is also made to the building fund for St. Mary of the Angels. The expenditure accounts include entries for wages, groceries, and household goods, stationary, travel expenses, insurance payments and other sundries. A loose account by Fr. Salvator Maria Corrigan OFM Cap. (1834-1919), dated 3 Mar. 1881, is inserted into the volume. This account is extant on a printed flyer seeking contributions towards the completion of building work on St. Mary of the Angels. The flyer is illustrated. An annotation (probably by Fr. Joseph Harkins OFM Cap.) on the first page of the volume reads: ‘Book of current expenditure as per week of the Rev. Capuchin Community of Dublin’.

Over-sized storage. The spine covering is cracked and the text block is exposed at ends. There is significant dust accumulation to the covers and opening pages. The volume requires extensive cleaning. Careful manual handling is required.
