| Transcript | Department of Trade and Commerce Canada Office of The Deputy Minister F. C. T. O'HARA OTTAWA, September 3rd., 1921. PERSONAL Dear Mr. Graham, Much water has flowed under London Bridge since I had the pleasure of meeting you in Belfast in 1908, but the memory of my visit to the good city of Belfast and to Larchfield remains a very happy one. I have noticed in the press of late that your establishment has been the centre of street fighting. I presume you are still connected with those famous mills. We are now awaiting with great interest the outcome of the correspondence between Lloyd George and de Valera. I have been wondering whether conditions in Ireland are exaggerated in the press. Much of the news we get comes through New York and is doubtless doctored to please the Irish Americans in that city. We are hoping that the troubles of Ireland will soon be over, though, without being pessimistic, I rather fear that peace will not come in our generation. The object of this letter is to ask if you would be good enough to complete a few details in the enclosed sketch of my grandmother's family tree. You will note the information I have is very limited. I shall be glad if you could add the dates wherever possible. My mother, I am happy to say, is still in the land of the living, enjoying excellent health; but I suppose you seldom hear from any of the Dobbs family, especially since the death of Aunt Meat some years ago. She, I believe, always kept up an active correspondence with our Irish relatives. I have been in England twice since I saw you in Belfast; once in 1911, and again in 1913; but my trips were very hurried and I could not get beyond London. I am always hoping against hope that I shall get over there again, and if so I shall be delighted to renew our too brief acquaintanceship of years ago. Encl. [Enclosed?] With kindest regards, believe me Yours faithfully, F. C. T. O'Hara Oglivy Graham, Esq., York Street Spinning Co. Ltd., Belfast, Ireland.
