11. Laura Burns / Roger Rosen  (Jones )  - Killkelly Ireland
Fast Folk - September '83

"1860, My dear and loving son, John"  Few people were able to read in many parts of rural Ireland back then. Literary people like the local school master were in demand to render a host of services such as writing letters to family members of neighbours and friends away in America or England. Neighbours would come to the schoolmaster or priest and convey to them what they wanted to say in the letters http://hoganstand.com/general/identity/extras/roots/stories/kilkelly.htm
