George Dillon, Tamales [Tomales], California, to his cousin, Richard Lalor, Tinakill, Queen's County, 24 December 1869
Description
Very short letter. Dillon balances his homesickness for Ireland against the evils of Irish landlordism and the bountiful life he enjoys on his American farm, where he spends much of his time fishing and hunting. He reads Irish newspapers regularly and comments on a recent, large tenant-right meeting.
