Last page of a letter from James Butler, Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cashel to an unidentified group of gentlemen, urging them to exercise their vigilance and diligence 'to extirpate vice, & plant virtue & good morels [sic] that they may gain the Celestial Reward'. The missive incorporates a letter from Ellicebeth Swift addressed 'to all & every Clergymen [sic] in Care of souls within the Dioceses of Cashel & Emly', accusing them of ill treatment and threatening to make them 'dance & gallop in sich [sic] a manner that the Munster Lass in her Prime would not catch you till you pass the post at Mitchelstown' if they do not mend their ways. The letter constitutes a rare and useful account of relations between clergymen and parishioners within the Catholic Church in the archdiocese of Cashel and Emly from the female perspective.
