TO
PATRICK JOSEPH MURRAY, ESQ.
BARRISTER‐AT‐LAW,
DIRECTOR OF CONVICT PRISONS, AND INSPECTOR OF REFORMATORY SCHOOLS.

Dear Sir,

Please to accept this picture of country life, which I offer to you in memory of your kind encouragement of my literary efforts during the nine years’ existence of the Irish Quarterly Review. Your patriotic support of that National Journal for so long a period, and your successful efforts in the cause of reformatory schools, well deserve the gratitude of every one of your countrymen; but you have a peculiar claim upon mine for many important personal services.

I am, Dear Sir, Your faithful servant, PATRICK KENNEDY.
Anglesea‐street, Dublin,
August, 1867.
