BG/108/B
Outgoing Letter Books
Scope and Content:
Letter books containing carbon copies of outgoing letters sent by the clerk of the union. Many of the letters transmit decisions and resolutions by the Board of Guardians, while others deal with suppliers and routine issues. Some letters are faded and difficult to read. The clerk of the union also acted as clerk to Kinsale Rural District Council, and the three volumes present, particularly BG/108/B/1, contain copies of outgoing RDC letters. Correspondents addressed include the Local Government Board, the Department of Local Government, Irish Land Commission, Office of Public Works, Cork County Council, Cork County Insurance Committee, Central Army Pension Issue Office, Cross-channel Transportation and Coal Controller’s Department, banks, insurers, suppliers, and so on. BG/108/B/4 contains hardly any letters to public bodies, consisting mainly of letters to suppliers, union and RDC officers, and individuals. Only two letters are present between those dated 27 Oct 1917 and 3 May 1923. John Murphy, clerk of the union and of the RDC for all of the first two volumes present and much of the last, was succeeded by Eamon Murphy in May 1923.
