''MY DEAR Mr. KERR received yours of the
26th ult., and assure you | was much pleased
to hear from you, for am not uumindful of your
many kind acts to me and the interest you took
in my welfare. Had l taken Your advice l
would not be in the predicament | am now plao-
ed in. But had not the slightest idea that
should be interfered with, having gone into Can
ada peaceable American citizen without any
hostile intention whatever, never having carried
arms or done anything to offend a man, woman
or child in Canada they are our own race and
people and they never done anything to me-
But being out of employment | accepted the Of
fer of Mr.. McDermott to 60 correspondent. /
did not correspond any from the fact that the
feniaDs some or 10 miles in the country
fighting when | was arrested at Fort Erie
suppose you have seen an account of the skir-
mish at place called Ridgeway or Iron Ridge.
1t was madness for their leaders to have taken
them there. Some $50 or 500 men to fight not
alone the militia and the regulars, at least 1000
strong, but the Canadian people were up to q
mar in opposition to them if they counted on
any aid from the people of Canada you must
have observed how much they were deceived
Nothing could say could convey to you the in
dignation of all classes of Canadians at this fen
ian raid into their country. But / will more full
ly give you an account of it when / have the
pleasure OF seeing you. y
our faithful friend,
''R. B. LYNCH"
