Letter from Tadhg Scully to Seán Ó Súilleabháin

Abstract: 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.
