A volume containing drafts of outgoing letters written by Fr. Henry Anglin OFM Cap. The volume contains letters to: J. Rooney, Dollard Printing House, John J.

Campbell, Doreen Doyle, Seán Neeson, Basil Payne, Grace Perry, Mannix Joyce, Rev. Patrick J. McLaughlin, Oliver Weldon, Evelyn Boylan, Patrick R. Ryan, and Michael O’Higgins.
• A copy letter to James Liddy refers to Fr. Henry’s objection to Seán O’Casey’s association with the ideas of social justice espoused by James Connolly and Jim Larkin. Reference is also made to censorship in Ireland (2 Sept. 1963).
• A letter to Seán Lemass, suggest that it would be fitting that he as Taoiseach write a tribute for the late President John F. Kennedy to be published in 'The Capuchin Annual' (23 Nov. 1963).
