Letter from Patrick Carey to John Langford regarding an offal contract with a local victualler, John Hurley. Enclosed with the letter is a copy of a letter sent to Margaret Hurley regarding a bond for the contract. Patrick Carey (1853-1934) was the Union Clerk for the Killarney Poor Law Board of Guardians. Poor law unions and their workhouses were established by the Poor Law (Ireland) Act, 1838, as a response to widespread poverty, and were each governed by a Board of Guardians. This letter comes from the Killarney Poor Law Board of Guardians Minute Book. John Langford (1863-1930) served as the Killarney Workhouse master from 1899 to 1922.
