Title E. Reilly, New York City, to his nephew, John McLoughlin, County Leitrim, 7 June 1866
Description [McLoughin is also in Carrigallen as per Reilly's letter to Peter Smyth of 8 June 1866]. Reilly instructs his nephew John McLoughlin in detail on emigrating to New York where he has organised work for him at the Barbour Brothers flax mills. Reilly makes his nephew aware that "there is a strong prejudice here against taking into either store or office a family connexion" so he advised him to "be energetic, straighforward and truthful [and] never take offence at trifles" and he will be successful. He signs off with final advice to "be kind and obliging to all but you must also be bold and outspoken".
