Handwritten letter, double sided, to Sam Henry. Addressed from St Marks Rectory, Dundela, Strandtown, Belfast. Dated 6th October. Thanks Sam for sending him The New Irish Magazine with his article. Asks Sam where he got all the details for the article and suggests making a note of this. He spent ten days in Glencolumbkille at end of July. He saw old Paddy McQiuley of Meenaharvey but not Briany Molloy. Refers to the prince's song. Mentions a published collection of 200 Ulster songs by Henry Morris. Discusses the word 'beann'? and its meaning. Travelled to Tyrone last Thursday and talked with 3 people but found the Irish accent difficult to understand. Asks Sam if he knows anything about Andrew Bryson, a Presbyterian Minister from Dungannon, as he came across a sermon of his in the Belfast Free Library.
