Letter from G.Vaughan Carleton, Ballina, to George Charles, 3rd Earl, describing how potatoes were dug in Rev. Verchoyle's potato field during divine service. The people are not violent but 'say they are "straving"'. He writes that they need "work at once" to allay public alarm. The Poor House is overflowing. He goes to Swinford on Tuesday.
