Letters, articles, and funeral cards pertaining to Seán Ó Cathasaigh and the Casey/Ó Cathasaigh shipbuilding family.

Copy of a letter from John Shannon, St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Nyngan, New South Wales, Australia, informing the recipient ('Con') about Reverend Colman J. Casey (1866-1901), uncle of Seán Ó Cathasaigh. Father Casey emigrated to Australia, where he was the parish priest of Nyngan between 1893 and 1898. The author corrects Seán Ó Cathasaigh on two points, stating that Father Casey was transferred to Bourke Parish in 1898 and died as such in 1901, but was buried in Nyngan. The church in the small village of Girilambone, 30 miles northwest of Nyngan, was named St. Colman's in Father Casey's honour after he had it moved and repaired.
