Component identifier:
Series 13
Content Summary:

The series comprises photocopies of letters written in India. There is a large group of letters from Captain Edward Gordon written to family and friends in Ireland, 1850-57. The other letters are from priests and others in Madras, Calcutta, Colombo and elsewhere, mostly sent to Archbishop Murray and Cardinal Paul Cullen, Archbishop of Armagh.

Originals are in the Dublin Diocesan Archives and were copied because of the links between India and Australia in relation to priests and the Army. This was potential article material that O'Farrell did not pursue.

Immediate source of acquisition:
The Library purchased the original instalment of papers from O'Farrell in June 1980. O'Farrell donated subsequent consignments to the Library in August 1980, 1981, 1982, 1984 and in 2000. Other papers were purchased from O'Farrell in 1998 and 1999. Material acquired in May 1984 and in February 1998 pertaining to Dr Albert Dryer has been transferred to the papers of Albert Dryer (MS 6610).Further material was added to the O'Farrell Papers in 2006.
