Letter
John O’connell to Godlove S. Orth, January 5, 1867
Mr. O’Connell to Mr. Orth.
Lafayette, Indiana, January 5, 1867.
Hon. Sir: Enclosed you have the governor’s letter you expressed a wish to see. I also send a newspaper in which Mr. Pope Hennessy, a member of the English Parliament, allude to the sufferings and treatment those convicted for political offences are receiving.
May the Great Lord bless you—and take the earliest opportunity of seeing Mr. Seward, as my poor son cannot much longer exist, under such cruel and merciless treatment. Regretting much being so very troublesome, and hoping to hear from you after seeing Mr. Seward, I have the honor to be, honorable sir, with great respect, your inflexible supporter,
JOHN O’CONNELL.
Godlove S. Orth, Esq., M. C.
