   In County Sligo there is a well called Tobar Nalt where the people go once every year. It is about ten miles from here and the people go on motor cars, horse cars, and traps. The priest comes in the morning and says mass and gives the people Communion. There is a stream flowing from the well where the people wash their sores. There are stations of the Cross round the the well and the people do them. When the people are going home they bring holy water from the well. In the evening the men go out (of) on the lake fishing. There are a lot of travelling folk living near the well that beg money and other things. In the evening the people go home again.
