Sailor Fred Huxtable Reports From Ireland in Cork Observations
Sailor Fred Huxtable writes from Cork Ireland noting a constable hero at the quay and a strong Friends Meeting founded by Penn. He comments on Quaker merchants, the bells of Shannon, and a river voyage to beef, while remarking on Irish optimism and Sinn Fein sympathy. He critiques English land policy, idle lands, and industry taxes, predicting many Irish will emigrate to the United States. He suggests Home Rule complexities and proposes referendums by county for independence versus continued British rule.
