Scope and content

Typed transcript and a photocopy of a letter from Jack Doyle, addressing his letter from 'Ballinalakallen', to his sister, Anastasia Doyle, in America in 1872. Jack Doyle replies to his sister's letter informing her of the death of their father following a debilitating illness. Doyle banked the £100 pounds his father left to him as a 'fortune'. The exact location is unknown but from the contents of the letter, the family appear to have lived in Newtownbarry parish, now Bunclody in County Wexford.
