From Mr. John J. Slattery, Louisville, Ky.: “I have received Volume IV of the Journal of the Society, which you kindly sent me, and delayed acknowledging its receipt until I had read it. Need I say what pleasure it afforded me? The series are all good, but this is one of the best. Because these publications furnish proof of facts stated—from the records—they are invaluable to many, to whom such knowledge is otherwise inaccessible.”
From the Public Library of Toledo, Ohio: “I beg to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of Volume IV of the Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society. I would very much like to secure Volumes I, II and III, in order to have a complete file. Please advise me if this is possible. I hope, also, that our library may receive subsequent volumes. Thanking you for your kindness, I am yours very truly, Willis F. Sewall, Librarian.”
From the University of Maine: “By authority and on behalf of the trustees of the University of Maine I desire to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of the Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society, Volume IV, which has been added to this library through your courtesy. If available for distribution, we should be glad to receive the earlier volumes of the Journal and others of your Society’s publications. Yours truly, Ralph K. Jones, Librarian.”
From the Reynolds Library, Rochester, N. Y.: “The trustees of the Reynolds Library acknowledge with thanks the receipt of your gift (Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society, Volume IV, 1904). We should be very glad if you could find it possible to place the name of our library on your regular mailing list, and also present us your first three volumes if you have copies to spare. I think a set would be appreciated here. Very respectfully, Alfred S. Collins, Librarian.”
From the Public Library of Milwaukee, Wis.: “We are greatly indebted to you for Volume IV of the Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society received this morning. It would be advantageous to our Irish-American citizens who are patrons of this library to have the complete set and to be able to consult the volumes as they come out. If you can send us the first three volumes and place us on your mailing list, we shall be under renewed obligations to you. Very truly yours, George W. Peckham, Librarian.”
From Mr. Dennis H. Tierney, Waterbury, Conn.: “I wish to congratulate you in the production of Volume IV, Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society for 1904. And in reading your paper entitled “Some Voices From Ye Olden Time,” I saw in it great research and pains taken on your part which I, as state president of the Society, feel prompted to commend, and on the part of the members of the state of Connecticut, I thank you for your very efficient work which I regard as a milestone, as it were, to guide the present and future historian.”
From the Librarian of Trinity College, Washington, D. C.: “It is a pleasure to thank you for the copy of The Journal of the American-Irish Historical Society, Volume IV, which you courteously sent to our library. I have examined the whole volume with a glow of pride and interest and feel sure the same sentiments will be awakened in our young people as they read. It is a valuable addition to our library. Should the Society publish monographs, bibliographies, or any thing relating to the Irish element in America, we shall be glad to be informed.”
