- Description
- Dear Mr. Carter, The writer has been asked by Mr. O'Driscall (the representative of Aviation Dublin) to secure for you a picture of boat that greeted you in Foynes on the occasion of your visit to this country. I herewith enclose same as it is the only one I could get from a freind of mine as we have no official photographs in this village of Foynes. I am also enclosing one of you riding my famous pigeon toad hones on Foynes mier. I may mention the said so called hones (mana by name) is now twenty years old and is a great of my only son and highly priced by him.He is what we call a Spanish Donkey and was a good one in his day. and quite capabale of ddrawing a load of of twelve ewt a few miles. I trust the Blackthorn stick I gave you is holding its own and now this side of the Atlantic is to was minded that you will not have occasion to use it in any such manner. It is a real Irish Blackthorn and one of its kind that was often used here in the days gone by to inflict severe punishment to any upholders of the law. We were always "again" the government from time to time but I am now glad to say that our country is getting much tamer and settling down to make it one fit for Irishmen to live in. I trust it won't be long till we see your good self in Foynes again. With all good luck and kindest regards. Yours Faithfully Y. W. Feales.
