The late Thomas McNevin was a gifted Irishman, the bosom friend and fellow laborer of Daniel O'Connell, and the author of "Confiscation of Ulster", "IrishVolunteers 1782", "Sheil's Speeches, with Life". He was the originator of the "Library of Ireland" series, which has done so much for Irish Catholic History. Some time ago his only daughter, with a young family, was reduced to want, owing to the loss from ill health of her husband's position. De Burgh has been trying to make up something to rescue her from poverty, and besides what he got in Ireland, he received the following from America: James Cardinal Gibbons, £5; Archbishop Patrick J. Ryan, £5; Eugene Kelly, £5; J. A. Donohoe, £5; Bishop John J. Keane, £3; Bishop Stephen V. Ryan, £5; Bishop Patrick T. O'Reilly, £3; Bishop Patrick Manchue, £3; Bishop Matthew Harkins, £3; Archbishop Patrick W. Riordan, £3. He encloses one of the last letters John Henry Cardinal Newman wrote; as it is a very precious relic, he would like it returned. :: III-3-d A.L.S. 4pp. 12mo.
