"Holograph, signed. Richard Allen sends autographs of \"the greatest man in Ireland, for such I hold Theobald Mathew to be.\" His name is also prefixed to the address from \"our\" [the Irish] nation. Teetotalers will be glad to have his autographs. The other autographs are from a forerunner of Father Mathew. On this stationery, there is an engraving of \"The Cove of Cork. Richard Allen comments about this engraving in a postscript: \"The little sketch at the head of this, was doubtless one of Father Mathew's early haunts -- It is a beautiful spot."
