John O'Donovan was appointed by the Ordnance Survey in 1830 to research the ancient forms of place names to be used on the O.S. maps. He wrote these letters from the field as he carried out his work. Donegal was the 5th county visited by O'Donovan. The letters contain excellent information on his work of identifying history behind the place names.
