"Holograph, signed. The beginning of this letter is missing. Richard Davis Webb describes the \"stupendous horse regiments\" that parade the streets \"for the purpose of impressing the people of Ireland with a deep sense of the power of our rulers to keep us down if we make any attempt to struggle upwards.\" Webb is sending the latest copy of the Nation, which is to be passed on to James Miller McKim [sic M'Kim]. Webb writes: \"The Nation is the mouthpiece of young Ireland--- ...longing for an Irish Marathon or Thermopylae---bursting with admiration for Robert Tyler and the United States--- ...\" They are independent of Daniel O'Connell. Webb has received a letter from H. C. Wright and has seen a letter from C. L. Remond, and thinks \"the Hundred Conventions must have been of great use to him.\" On page one of the manuscript, Richard Davis Webb writes \"it is now March 3rd.\" On page two, the letter is postmarked March 4. Webb's handwriting covers the printed stationery of the \"Shareholders' Committee Rooms, 40 Dame Street, Dublin, 17th of February, 1842.\" The delivery address for this letter is: M.W. Chapman, 39 Summer Street, Boston, U.S.A."
