7 items; Manuscript

A file of letters from William Frederick Paul Stockley and his wife Germaine Stockley to Fr. Richard Henebry. Includes two letters to Henebry from Germaine Stockley. A letter (12 December 1915) from William Stockley reads ‘My wife has a trouble upon her. Her good father is dead. He was old in age, 87, but I used to see him out early at Mass last year. … After Bavaria, I think he loved France, where he lived … and where he married. I never heard him speak against a foe. His daughter never heard him say a gross-ish word. Are they all Celts in Bavaria?’
