Parks, P , Brooklyn, New York, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1872 October 28
Scope and Contents
Because of the remoteness of his residence and the demands of work, he is unable to attend the lectures given by Father Thomas Burke and is grateful to the Freeman's Journal for the detailed accounts of these lectures. He has read the lecture at the Academy of Music given on Oct. 17 in which Burke vindicates the character of Ireland and Irishmen from the aspersions of the Englishman, Fraud, or whatever he is called. However, he asks whether Burke's statement was quoted correctly, in regard to the relating of how the crown of King Henry VII was disputed by two others, with the inference that these two were Protestants. There were no Protestants in England or Ireland at that time. Again Burke is quoted as saying that George I died in 1753 and that George II was King in 1722. He hopes this is a mistake of the reporter or printer. George I died about 1727 and was succeeded by George II who died in 1760. P.S. He asks that his paper be sent to 27 Wolcott Street in the future. :: I-1-c A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
