Title Daniel T. Shehan to his family in Ireland, March 7, 1846
Description Daniel T. Shehan relays that he has been in poor health since learning of his father's death by letter the previous 26 June 1845, but now recovered. He dreads it is too late for his sister Bessy and his child to travel out to him this season and laments his brother being too ill to attend to their father in his last days. He also strongly rejects his brother John's request to return home, saying it was for their sakes he partly left and denies having any spare money to give them, even as "your state troubles me by night". He also asks his mother to place her consolation in God and not "indulge too much in grief" and describes weather and market prices in Canada. [letter is incomplete].
