[The response of Paddy O’Connell, of Glendalough, County Wicklow, to
his friend, Henry Gastonard of the Maison du bon Tabac at Paris.]
Glendalough, County Wicklow,
May 18th, 1905.
Dear Henry,--Your letter is received. I gather therefrom two
facts:--1. That you are making a fool of yourself in Paris. 2. That
this occupation is congenial to you and the lady of the circus, upon
whom you appear to have bestowed your patronage.--Believe me to be, My
dear Henry,
Yours sincerely,
Paddy O’Connell.
