BC RF/103/1/1: Letter from Killarney, Ireland, [1850]

Letter from Killarney, Ireland, arguing that 'there is reason in [Kate Roget's] present state of mind, but also some desease'.The difficulty with EJR's suggestion for her is 'to find a clergyman' who will not 'perplex her with arguments as to Church discipline doctrine &c &c'. EAB cannot think W[illiam] Shaen quite a suitable person' for the College, but she promises to 'do all I can in writing about the College'. Prevented by the weather from seeing the 'far famed lakes' of Killarney, she has 'no wish to travel further in this wretched country, to see decayed potato stalks & hunger stricken creatures. It is an awful thing to see the social revolution going on...'
