Eedy Letters. Copy letters and other items mainly concerning Robert Eedy, formerly of Bandon, Co Cork, later of Bathurst, British North America. The collection sheds light on Eedy's family and local connections in Ireland and Canada, on the tribulations of poor protestant families and depression in the weaving and other trades (especially in Bandon), political unrest arising out of Catholic Emancipation (including the formation of Liberal and Brunswick Clubs), and pre-Famine protestant emigration to Canada.
