Scope and content

Letter from P Brady, Kilmore, Carrick-on-Shannon, County Roscommon, stating that he thought they were related to the Barretts of Ballina, wool merchants. He tells her that her father went to Scabbagh school. He says that he got a blow to his leg, either from sliding in front of or from a kick from an ass. He says that there was no Irish in the school, and that Archdeacon Connellan learned his Irish from Fr. Hynes, later President of the UCG. Tells her that the occupants of her grandparents lands were the O'Beirnes, and refers to a Fr. Cudgel O Beirne, "Called cudgel because he used to use one in the faction fights at the Fair of Dangan". He says that it is her duty to inform the County about her father, and that if they were aware of his achievements that they would commemorate him.
