Cundun Letters
Title
Padraig Cundun, Deerfield, near Utica, Oneida County, New York, to Tomas Stac, close to [Youghal], County Cork, 30 March 1852
Description
This is a very long letter. The best parts include Cundun's advice as to family emigration: Cundun urges parents and children to emigrate as family units; otherwise, he warns, if the children emigrate singly and separately, they will end up scattered throughout the country. Also excellent are Cundun's bitter observations on intra -communal class conflict among Catholics in Ireland . Cundun emphasizes the plight of Ireland's landless laborers, who are scorned and mistreated by haughty farmers. Also interesting, although long and repetitive, are Cundun's prose and poetic diatribes against a prototypical Irish bailiff-whom Cundun characterizes as a "bloodsucker". [Letter transcript shows the original text in Irish, alongside an English translation.]
