8 April, 1872
Dear Mrs Kendall
It was delightful to meet you. Thank you for your hospitality, also. You run a fine establishment and have good people there to enjoy it. I only wish I had more time to enjoy your company. Dealing as I do with my associates has taken me many places with barely a moments warning. It is how I came to this place, and how I made the happy circumstance of meeting you. Sadly, the same business is sending me to London this morning without so much as an opportunity to say farewell at the moment. I was very anxious to speak with you again regarding a specific matter, perhaps if only someone to share what I have just experienced. You made a comment about the odd goings round about where we were regarded not respecting the right god. Those odd goings on affected me in a way I did not predict or even wish for and it would be nice to talk this over with someone whose accent isn’t so thick I have trouble following. I’ve probably rambled too far from my point of this letter. I wish that I could have said in person, but I must go to London, I have no idea when I’ll return, but I fully intent to do so at the earliest possibility.
Farewell,
Seamus Michael O’Flaherty
Proceed to Wondrous fortune
