February 19th, 1880.
"Gentlemen,
"I am directed by the Urlingford Relief Committee to acknowledge the receipt of your favour, with the very generous donation. This sum will be the cause of saving many lives; indeed, until the distress has been enquired into, I had no idea we had such destitution in our town. May God bless the generous donors.
"I am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
"John Stapleton,
Hon. Sec."
