| Transcript | Mr Clarkin Dr [Dear?] Sir / / Please accept my sincere thanks for sending me the Irish paper at this particular time I am sorry to see the Irish party in Parliament quarrelling amongst themselves How it must please our enemies. My sympathy is and always has been with Parnell. I think him the most disinterested Party as far as self is concerned of any one of the [McCarthyites?] (so called) I have seen old Mrs Parnell and heard her speak here in Pawtucket in defence of Ireland his sister (now dead) spent her whole life into praise of the Irish People and now we are asked to condemn C.S. Parnell on the evidence of a perjured ruffian like O'Shey [O'Shea?]. and to call him traitor at the bidding of Gladstone who was filling the Irish jails with Irish patriots when the whole Parnell family was at the service of their Country "what a Contrast The Irish People must go slow at the present time for in taking sides with Gladstone against Parnell they must count on losing the support of America that would suit Gladstone and his party but could the Irish get along without America. America is with Parnell there is no doubt in that and no party coming here will be listened to that is not a Parnell man What did ever Ireland get from the Liberal Party while they remained in their rank? Nothing I take great delight in listening To Nolans temperance lectures he is doing a good work God bless him I am glad to see one of the name enlisted in such an holy Cause tho' Irish could rule this Country today was it not the curse of drink. Excuse me for making so familiar without an introduction also I hope you will not criticise my grammar. I am getting rusted I am so long from practice. I fear you will have to put an addition to your school. Your own family will soon be able to fill any ordinary room. but let not that discourage you. I remain Yours Sincerely Mr J Clarkin M Nolan Larne Pawtucket Co Antrim Ireland R I. [Rhode Island?] Letter from Pawtucket R.I. Late 19th century re Parnell TD 1945 Mrs W.R. Johnston (nee Clearkin) 7 Norfolk Parade Belfast 11. |
