TELEGRAPH & POST OFFICE, CLONGOWES WOOD, STATION, SALLING. Clongowes Wood College, Co. Hildave. letter not dated which cannot be written at Kenny Williamsborough My dear Mr. Warren. I thank you very sincerely for your letter. I will send you soon the 'Caol Dove'. At present I am working at Egan O'Rahill's poems in full stream. I find he lived for a time at a place called Duneacha near Torre Torre Torre. that is near the waves of Torre. I do not know whether the waves of Torre or Torries is the Cascade of Oslilion at the river there. or whether there is a part of the sea called Torre Torre. I think it must be the waters of the Cascade river I suppose you never heard of any place then called Duneacha or Duneacha. There is also a place called Epiopsa. and ap 6 spp no Epiopsa on the top of the Epiopsa. Do you think Epiopsa could be slial Longhra. for Epiopsa is often used of rushes. The Crown I meant Lady Dull is before Colonel Crown of Paris time My Lady lived at Kalknore about the year 1710 and lets still. O'Rahill has written a story about him how he and Griffin clubbed together to put hood Kennare that is Browne out of his head which they did at the time. As gill brought it and married Browne's daughter in 1704 I think. and Crown seems to have been an ender agent or something to Brown. and ac- coding to O'Rahill was also to turn Asgill sound or his fingers. For O'Rahill also wrote an elegy for 3 of Crown's children who died in Kalknore. how they died I don't know, but the elegy is very fine. their names were diarmied Ellin, Lady, It is very likely that Crown of Park was a son or grandson of this old Lady Dull. O'Rahill in the Eachtre he wrote for Lady gives his pedigree up to the devil from the father's side. It is very curious reading I am afraid Crown is too far back. and that you could not trace him up. but it is as harm to ask a few questions about him. As you know O'Rahill has an elegy on diarmied theatry or as he is called is some places Captain Oleary of Cilleen Is there any trace of his family now do you know. I used to hear that he was in the Larsfield wars in 1690 and later but I am not sure. Mind no do not write till you have plenty of time I know I am lothering you too much. but I am anxious to pick up some information on these points. Widest regard to Mrs. Warren. we believe me up. very sincerely. P. L. D. Miner. J.
