[John] Mulligan, New Brunswick, New Jersey, to his uncle, Lisnasliggan townland, Annaclone parish, near Banbridge, County Down, 7 July 1829
Description
Provides interesting information that illustrates the uncertainties and mishaps of transatlantic correspondence. Makes elitist remarks about American politics and politicians, who are "contemptible"-"rude, noisy, ignorant, and unprincipled." Reports that he could have become a naturalized U.S. citizen five years ago, but has no interest in doing so-because he has no interest in voting or participating in US politics.
