Dear Kinsman
I have to
thank thee for again making me the medium of thy bounty to
the "Belfast Ladies "Relief Association for Connaught". I
sent the Fifty Pounds on receipt to my friend Mary Murphy,
and have the enclosed acknowledgment from her son. In a few
days I hope to receive from her some particulars of the
present condition of the Association, and some statistics of
the trade in sewed muslin, which is now a very important
branch of Irish manufacture, and to which their labor
largely contributed.
Since receiving thy letter, I
have (in common with many others here) received a painful
shock, by the sudden & unexpected death of my co-secretary
to the Releif Com–& very dear friend Joseph Bewley. He had
been unwell some weeks since, but was much better, and had
gone, with his son and two daughters, to spend a few days at
Newcastle, a bathing place in the Co. of Down, hopeing that
the quietude & country air would restore his usual strength.
They were there only two days, and on the third he was
walking with his
