Kerby A. Miller obtained this reproduction of the transcript from PRONI. Per J.C. Duff, who donated the transcript to PRONI: 'The letter reproduced below was typed by the late Wm. D. McIlroy of Pittsburgh and is presumably a copy of the original letter which has been lost. This typed copy WIM had sent to Martha Duff Atkinson, Magerafolt, County Derry. She and her sister Sarah Duff Whitehead were both at the home of their brother Tommy Duff, near Coagh, County Tyrone, when I visited there last August (1959).' The original transcript is held in PRONI [reference number T2252/2/].
