Entry in cat. under Swift, family of, Swiftheath, Co. Kilkenny.
Two letters pasted in from Miss Louisa Kelly Evans to the Librarian, Newport Benjamin White. The first, dated 26th July 1948, Miss Evans enquires about the library's interest in receiving the scrap book which the writer considers may be of particular interest based on a poem on the inside back board by Dean Swift. [The poem is 'A receipt for stewing veal for the use of Dean Swift', by Alexander Pope, copied in 19th c. hand]. The second, dated 2nd August 1948, acknowledges the Library's acceptance of the scrap book.
