Power: The Riches of Clare

Letter from Charles Stewart Parnell, 1882

Charles Stewart Parnell (1846-1891), the great Nationalist leader, wrote this letter to a Mrs Strich from his home in Avondale, Rathdrum, Co Wicklow in October 1882. It refers to tenants and estates, and it is interesting also that in October 1882 Parnell founded the National League as a replacement for the suppressed Land League.
