A cable message to the Committee for Relief in Ireland in Boston cites widespread suffering in Ireland and cites relief from America as the only hope. The message is from Henry Harrison, a British army captain, former MP and wartime hero.
Captain Harrison states widespread suffering in Ireland with promised American relief as the only hope. He cites 187,000 pounds awarded by County Court Judge Bodkin for Crown abuses in Clare to be paid by ratepayers, while martial law blocks trials and probes. He notes mass unemployment and homelessness as relief committees wind up amid new fund drives.
The final day of the drive distributed funds across the state as several parishes and individuals contributed sizable amounts. St Joseph's Somerville gave 715 dollars, St Patrick's Williams Town 1257.87, and groups in Roxbury Cambridge and Boston donated smaller sums. Numerous individuals and organizations provided 10 to 50 dollars, with totals ranging from 7 to 600 dollars and tied to local churches halls and associations.
