Archival history

Ann Barry, archivist/secretary for the Cork Archives Council, provided transcripts of these letters to Kerby A. Miller on 22 February 1978. Barry received her copy of the letter from the manuscript's owner, Mrs. B. McGrath of Blackrock, Dublin, from which Barry created her own transcript for deposition with the Cork Archives Council [now Cork City and County Archives, reference number U128]. Miller then annotated Barry's transcript.
