James L. O’Neill, Elizabeth, N. J.

Volume Eight of the American Irish Historical Society received. You are deserving of the highest commendation from the members of the Society. All who read the pages will readily see the compiling of the work was an arduous task, but no doubt an extreme pleasure to you.

I trust you will be spared to the Society for many years to come, and thus continue in the noble work of your late predecessor, and also that your zeal will have the subservient effect.
