A documentary history by Fr. Marcellus Carroll OFM Cap. referring to the arrival of the Irish Capuchins in South Africa and to their early work in Cape Town. The preface notes that the booklet was not intended for publication. His primary sources were the ‘writings of the late Fr. Kevin Lenaghan SJ, the now defunct "Catholic Magazine", and the "Southern Cross", and the archives in the Chancery in Cape Town, and those of Parow and Athlone parishes’. The documents relate primarily the period from 1929-40, but reference is also made to developments up to the late 1970s.

Series includes seven of the surviving letters of Honora (Nano) Nagle ((1718 – 1784), to Eleanor Fitzsimons, (in religion Sr Angela), an Irish novice in Paris. Nano Nagle brought the Ursuline congregation to Ireland, in 1771, before founding the Presentation Sisters. Nagle corresponded with Fitzsimons regularly, discussing matters with her in an open and candid manner. Nagle’s letters indicate that she was urged on by her faith. Eighteenth century spelling, grammar, and punctation was not bound by the same rules as modern times. Spelling was notoriously changeable. She also appears to have spelt many words phonetically, as evidenced in her letters.
The letters provide insight into Nagle’s life, vocation and ambitions, and the early development of her schools in Cork.
These letters originally belonged to the Archives of the Ursuline Sisters, in Blackrock, Cork. They were gifted to the Presentation Sisters on 8 June 2018, on the tercentenary of the birth of Nano Nagle.
