• Letter to Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. from Sister M. Monica enclosing notes outlining Fr. Mathew’s involvement in bringing the Congregation of the Sisters of Mercy to Birr, County Offaly in 1840. The letter is dated 31 Jan. 1941. Manuscript and typescript, 4 pp.
• Notes by Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. re portraits of Fr. Theobald Mathew OSFC. The principal source for the notes appears to be Walter G. Strickland’s 'A Dictionary of Irish Artists' (1913). The file includes references to the following:
Edward David Leahy (1797-1875). ‘He painted a portrait of Fr. Mathew in 1846. Held in the National Portrait Gallery’.
Daniel MacDonald (1821-1853). ‘He painted a portrait of Fr. Mathew and engraved it in mezzotint ….’.
Samuel West (b. about 1810, d. after 1867). ‘Portrait of Fr. Mathew, belonged to the late Sir James Mathew. It was engraved by W.O. Geller’.
Cutting from the 'Cork Examiner', 3 Nov. 1931, referring to a drawing of Fr. Mathew by George Cruikshank which had recently been sold at auction in Sotheby’s in London. A note attached to the drawing read: ‘This sketch was made before I became a pump myself. But I am happy to say that I have been a total abstainer for 26 years, up to this date, July 26th, 1873’.
[c.1915]. Manuscript and cutting, 8 pp.
• Letter from Fr. Angelus Healy OFM Cap. to Fr. Stanislaus Kavanagh OFM Cap. referring to Fr. Augustine Hayden’s contention in his 'Footprints of Father Mathew' that Fr. Mathew ‘resigned the office of Provincial Minister’. 19 Jan. 1948. Typescript, 1 p.
