Letter from J.P. Jenkins to Fr. Bonaventure Murphy regarding Fire Escape Stairs

1 p.; typescript

Letter concerning the potential procurement and installation of a fire escape staircase for Rochestown Friary. The text mentions the enclosure of a blueprint and specification copy detailing two fire escape stairs originally ordered by Messrs. McCarthy & Sons for erection at the Industrial Schools in Glin. Jenkins quotes an approximate price of £97 10s 0d each, free on quay Cork, or roughly £100 delivered to Rochestown Station, noting that these heavy-duty stairs are structurally built to withstand the rough usage expected in an institutional setting.
