The McHugh Letters

The McHugh family letters are a collection of over 100 letters sent between 1878 and 1994 with the vast majority dating to between the 1880s and 1900s. Most were written from Australia and America by three brothers, John, Patrick and Thomas McHugh, the great-uncles of Micheal McHugh of Drum, Milltown.
