am at present in London tryn to make up
my mind whether to stay here and becum
English patriot, or to go to France and becum
Irish one. Their is so much to be sed ON both
sides that 1 find it difficult to decide Eff it wuz
certin thet the Irish agitashun wood keep up,
think shood go to Paris, but unfortchinate-
ly ther never wuz an Irish movement yit thet
wuzn't immejitly sold out by the leaders Ez
a rool, after insurreckshun wuz famed into
decent proporshuns ther immejitly occurred
footrace among the feeders to see wich Good git
to London to sell it out first. Their liz no dout
but thet kin make good thing Nv it by or
ganizin myself into a skirmishin fund or re.
leef fund, or most anything nv the kind, and
hevin the Irish seryint girls and day labrers Nv
Ameriky send me contriDushuns, but when
this present movement dies out, ware am /?
I shoed hev to go to work to git up new
trubble, and thet wood be strainin onto a
Amerikin. A Irishman Gums to it naturally,
but to me it wood be moo eggsperienoe.
On the other hand never saw better mate
rial for a party NV reform, similer to the De-
mocrisy NV Ameriky, than ther is here in Lon
don. Their is oshens of material here, Att an
tics and Pacifcs Nv it, Their IL mors ginmils
to the square acre than ever see afore and
wat makes it better they are crowded oil the
time.
England is a kentry peculerly favorble to
popelar uprisings. Their IL crate deel of welth
here, CRATE deel. The shops are stuff with
valooble goods, and the banks are groanin with
coin. 1t IL coin they hev here. 1t isn't Con-
fedrit paper wich wuzn't wuth carrin home, or
x.oIo -
steel at SO cents on the dollar.
Wen it Gums to a popelar uprisin ther are
ruther too many suffers about fer comfort
wich are the hirelins of royalty. But let the
mob take the proporshens NV the riot in Moo
York in 1868, and it wood be singlar of the
luyers Nv hoomanity didn't git away with
enuff to pay EN- for tho trubble. Their is
wildernis Nv welth here The field is reddy
for the harvest. shood like amazinly to git
my sickle in.
Wat shall do don't know. Ez it il 1 am
restin on my oars and keepin wether eye out
for wat may turn up. am very comfortably
sitooated and am in no hurry. The landlord
NV wich rent my rooms appeers to be salts
fed without askin for money (my valise looks
fulI, and hev established crediI at three or
four public houses and the same number NV
eatin houses. Livin is very hi here, but it
makes no espeshal difference to me. Eff they
charge it, am jest ez well satisfied to let EN-
charge literally. 1t duz em good, suppose,
to take advantage NV q unsoffisticated Ameri-
kin, and ef it's any comfort to en-, why let EN-
hev it. Wen they git thru chargin it's easy
matter to move to another quarter and do it
over agin.
The buty NV London is it's so large that a
man Nv my time Nv life can't begin to eggs
haust his credit in it, Wer 1 yung man and
intendid to stay in London I shood look out
fer sum provishin for old age, but at 60 watts
the yoose2 can't expeck to liv more than 20
yeers more, and probably not that, for the
change from Bourbon whisky to British BRAN
dy hez he'd a renchin effeck upon me alreddy.
But shood liv 20 yeers can't hope to possi-
bly, eggshaust credit in city NV 100000 NV
people. Eff do then my tung hez forgot its
ounnin, and my rite hand will no longer cleve
to anything.
l must confess that don't like the avrige
Englishman. havn't made the acquaintance
NV any docks or barrownets yet, nor hev L
barsked in the smiles Nv royalty, but | hev
tried to make the acquaintance NV sum NV the
! better class Nv commoners They are very
