Sir - The Saturday edition of The Irish Times is the only edition I can find on a regular basis, and I've found your wonderful series, Famine Diary, of great interest and value. May I assume it will be published in book form at some point? A recent two week visit to Ireland and Northern Ireland persuaded me that our Philanthropic Studies Library and Archive should have a special collections fund for Irish philanthropy and a broad collection of materials on the Great Famine. I am encouraged by the new work being done on philanthropy in the Famine in Ireland and elsewhere and believe that it will encourage additional work among American scholars. - Yours, etc., Professor of Philanthropic Studies, Centre on Philanthropy, Indiana University, USA.
