Scope and content
Letter from Margaret Russell, Newry to [Rev. Charles O'Hare] concerning news of her family. Refers also to vestments. Refers to her son Charles (later Lord Russell of Killowen) who won a prize for his essay and that he is to read the essay aloud in the Assembly Rooms, Newry. Remarks '...I think it was scarcely kind or judicious to ask so young a lad to come before the public as a lecturer, it is too trying an ordeal and may expose him to the charge of presumption which thank God he does not deserve...' Includes a note on the letter by Fergal McGrath SJ (former Irish Province Archivist).
