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.
