Oughterard 10 June 1839

Dear Sir,

I now move to Clifden where I wish all laters &c. to be directed for me. How soon does Wakeman join me? Has O'Conor gone to Carlow? The weather is very stormy here but I am getting on very rapidly as there is very little for me to do but take down the names, which are very Irish and plain.

I want all the references to be had about St. Cuimin of Cill Chuimin, 13. July; St. Anhin, Virgo of Killannin; St. Urumhan of Killeroon near Achadh na n-Iubhar. Is it stated in any of the Lives of Patrick that he made a journey through Gno mor, Gno beg and Conmaicne mara?

Your obedient &c. Servant,
John O'Donovan
