Letter from Tadhg Scully, "The Hill, Kilmallock, Co. Limerick" to Seán [Ó Súilleabháin of the Irish Folklore Commission]. Scully refers to information he sent on the Irish Famine and wishes to correct an opinion he gave regarding the soup kitchen at Tahilla [Co. Kerry] run by "an O'Sullivan" - a 'petty' landlord". He believes that it must have been run under "Catholic auspices" since the man in question "would not tolerate proselytism"; Additional note gives details of burials during the famine in the area.

Letter from Patrick Donnelly, Blundell's Grange, Loughgall, Armagh, to James Delargy, 14 May 1945. He has received the "Famine questionnaire" [the Irish Folklore Commission's questionnaire on the Irish Famine (1845-1852)]. Says "there was a soup kitchen 200 yards from here but there is not a trace of memory of it nor anything connected with the Famine". Goes on to say he will collect and send stories about "landlord proselytism" in the parish of Loughgall.
