Description:
In this issue we continue the publication of the calendar of the papers of Dr John Hamilton (1800-62), dean and later archdeacon, and secretary to Archbishop Murray of Dublin. The papers calendared here are contained in the files numbered 35/6 and 7 in the Dublin Diocesan Archive, and cover the years 1836 and 1837. During this period many of the letters received by Dr Hamilton bear upon his secretaryship to Dr Murray and his administratorship of the Pro-Cathedral. His correspondents include friends, clerical and lay, and family members as well as importunate parishioners. The papers were calendared by the late Mary Purcell.
