The Letters and Documents which follow the diaries range in date from 1803 to 1928, and are arranged under 18 heads, and include property titles and marriage settlements, depositions and other legal documents, letters, and an account of the Hacketts of Cork (1898).
PR46/3 Envelope containing (i) note stating 'to be sent to the Cork Arc. Society by the wishes of Miss Florence Hackett (1963), Diaries of B Hackett'; (ii) ms headed '[Fr.] Robert's Introduction', with a note in the corner stating 'this refers to a [farce] I remember Canon McInerney, Kilkee, Co Clare. He was very old & this was written in 1911' (unsigned). The main text is in parentheses and uses much stage Irish ('There's a mather that I have to shpake about...').
Taken altogether, the collection is a significant resource for study of the Hackett family, including its members in Midleton and Kilkenny, and in America. Also contained, inter alia, are first-hand accounts of major events, including the Repeal movement of the 1840s, the Great War (1914-18), and the Easter Rising (1916), adding to the personal, familial, and social historical value of the diaries and papers.
