Scope and content

330 Kennington Road, S. E. - Her father [Patrick Whitty] was invited to join the Morning Advertiser from the Freemason's Journal thirty years ago; requests return of enclosed letter; he was an able journalist and with George Clifford saw establishment of the Press Fund from which he has had two grants; not eligible for other benefits as he only paid one subscription; asks Houghton to intervene with the Fund; her father has struggled to support a large family; 'you can never guess what those who have been brought up refinedly suffer in misfortune'.

Enclosed: letter from John Scott of the Morning Advertiser to P[atrick] Whitty, Phibsboro Avenue, Dublin, 28 Oct. 1845. Asks Whitty to state preferred terms for engagement; would like to see him permanently appointed; 'brilliant salaries are not to be expected', but the Committee is firmly in favour of appointment.
