My dear Father,
Owen Marrin
to ask me if you can send him 500
copies of your speech on the Irish Exile
Resolutions. He has received the package
you sent him, but he says, by some
mistake, it contains principally Mr Clarke's
speech. He thinks he can distribute a
large number of yours with good effect.
I spoke to you about his
suggestion in regard to having another edition
struck off, of the speech which I enclose
He says he has found it always effective
and he thinks it would be especially so

now, on account of the opposing feeling
between the Irish and Germans. This covers
the whole ground, and shows the con-
nection between all the questions, more
fully than a speech on either of them
separately. At the same time, the
interruptions and remarks of other Senators
show in what spirit, and by whom
they are opposed. These are his reasons
for especially desiring to have it reprinted
He can distribute, he thinks, six or seven
thousand copies, though of course his zealous
wishes must be taken into account with
the estimate. The St. Patricks day letter
to Brooklyn has somewhat the same character.
Would it not appropriately accompany it?
If you should not think it

worth while to have a new edition struck off
please let him have this copy again, as
it is the only one he has.
Affectionately your son
Frederick W. Seward
