DrAR Sri cannot allow you TO leave Galway without
parting word and TO wish you prosperity and success
in this the opening voyage Of the line OF steam mail
communication between Ireland and the United States 70
the establishment Of which have devoted 30 much care
and for which have 30 long and necessarily abored
have also 10 express my regrets that urgent business
Affairs here viii pre- rent me from accompanying you in
the Connaught
Since first conceived the project Of starting line Of
steamers from Ireland 70 America, making Galway q
packet station, and establishing Grst class mail service
that viii carry the correspondence between Europe
America by the most direct routc-through Ireiand-I

be shadow Of doubt that this steam service the arss
projected from Ireland 70 foreign country now
N irly and firmly established, will fulnl every expcc

and social benefits upon Ireland.
Is importance 10 that portion Of the kingdom bei,evc
scarcely possible 70 ovcrrate win the benefits

friends and commercial correspondents in America
while Ireland has less than quarter Of the goee po

Post once show that third u The correspondence be-
tween Great Britain and America 10 and from Ireland;
and this the case, while the trade o. ireland has always
abored under the great disadvantage Of having steam
communication with America or any other foreign or co
