Title
George Dillon, Tamales [Tomales], Marin Co., California, to his cousin, Richard Lalor, Tinakill, Queen' s County, 31 January 1868
Description
A good autobiographical letter by an Irish Catholic dairy farmer and the brother of Maria O'Brien . Since his emigration, he had traveled 2,000 miles through the Southern and Western states, until 1865 when he settled in California, where he is now prosperous and content, with a wife and six children, but worn out physically by decades of hard labor. His dairy farm had 72 cows, but he rents it out so he doesn't have to work so hard. Happy but homesick; he has never received a letter from Ireland. He's friendly with Irish immigrant Jasper O'Farrell, an engineer who laid out San Francisco's first street plan.
