Scope and content

Letter from William Donelan, 19 Blessington St., Dublin, to D. Donelan, Woodquay, Tuam. He states that there are many before him to be examined and that it shall take a while. He complains about Maudsley giving his opinion when it wasn't asked for. He has a guitar ready to forward to him, stating that it is a very good one. He says Edward Dean has not yet returned from Mayo when the house will have to be sold off. He talks about a man named MacVeigh who shot himself on account of a girl, was brought to Temple St. where Dr. Adams examined him and he died. Says Miss Mandley was nice "but never was so handsome as to be worth losing a life for". Thanks him for the beautiful watch and ends by asking for money. [some mould damage at the corners, fragile but legible].
