Scope and content
Hotel Ivanhoe, 8 Harcourt Street, Dublin.—The formalities of customs at Liverpool were tiresome, but things are going better now. Is leaving for Galway this afternoon [to board a ship to New York, with other evacuees from Europe]. Has been impressed by the people of Dublin and thinks that Smith would be happy living there; Trinity College Library is beautiful. He saw Father Reeves before leaving, but was unable to say goodbye to Parker. Has been to mass at the Franciscan church.
