John F. O’Connell, Providence, R. I.
Some time ago I received a copy of the 8th Volume of the American Irish Historical Society’s records. I want at this time to apologize for not acknowledging receipt of it before. While I have not been asked by any publishing house to fill a 5-ft. shelf of the best sellers, I will cheerfully recommend this book to anybody in search of a liberal education of the Irish chapter in American History. The book and yourself reflect credit upon one another.
