| Transcript | The Reverend A T Kirkpatrick The Rectory Craigs Near Ballymena Co Antrim Ireland 49 [Brink?]burn Avenue Gateshead-on-Tyne Jan [January?] 5 1898 Dear Mr Kirkpatrick Will you kindly excuse just a line or two to say that, as I am trying to obtain duty in Irland [Ireland?] at the present time, I shall be truly thankful if you will kindly reply to any enquiries, as favourably as you possible can, which may be addressed to you concerning me. I went out to Canada all alone at the beginning of 1896; but as my way did not open out there as I had expected; and on my being informed whilst there, of my wife laying at death's door with a most dangerous illness in England, I therefore was obliged to return to England. I have been taking duty in England for some time, during which the Archbishop gave me a [license?] to officiate, But as I can not move him to give me a permanent license, I am therefore disengaged & am trying if possible to find an opening in Irland [Ireland?]. Your favour will very greatly oblige With kindest regards I remain ever most respectfully & truly yours J.A. Cooperwaite |
