The letter outlines the current status of the Abbey. 'We find the place has become very dilapidated and we cannot ourselves maintain the house and grounds as they should be maintained. Owing to its great historical interest we have approached the State indirectly through Messers McCann and Murphy, Solicitors, to find out whether it would be interested in acquiring the property'.

note

Newsclipping from 'The Kerryman', 18 May 1946, containing an article entitled 'Derrynane Abbey for Sale: Will Kerry People See Historic Home Lost to Nation?' The article states that Derrynane Abbey, the home of Daniel O'Connell, has been put on the market. It bemoans the fact that the Government have not secured it as a national monument. 'It has been the wish of the present owner of Derrynane, Mrs Walter Heurtley who inherited it from her sister, Miss K O'Connell, in 1914, that Derrynane with its treasures should be taken over as a National Museum and Park; but now it would seem that the hammer of the auctioneer in the open market must determine its fate'. In conclusion, the article announces the newspaper's intention to publicise the plight of the Abbey.
