Warrington: June 19^th 63

Dear Fr^d

I write to you to do a kind turn for a poor Lane operative thrown out of work by your war; because at the moment I can't think of any other
trusty name in Rochester: & I don't pay the letter, for fear it shdn't reach.

"Michael Kearnon, 8 Binn [illegible] Jackson St., C.u.M. Manchester" has a brother Thomas who was doing very well in a grocer's store in Rochester. So says Owen O'Neill, who lives on Mansion St Rochester, I wrote to that effect in his letter to his father; but did not say where in Rochester said brother Kearnon lives. Now Michael is of course destitute; I wrote to his brother Thos. a letter begging him to help him out to your country. This letter he registered, thinking it w^d more likely

to reach him. The receipt I enclose. But he has heard nothing in answer; & I presume the letter didn't find him.

Now can you find out said "Tho^s. Kearnon, Grocer" ; or said Owen O'Neill in Mansion St, who c^d probably give tidings? If you can, pray beg him to get money to bring his brother out, who appears to be a very respectable young man, about 28 years of age; & has been a member of the Institute for the Unemployed, which I have superintended. He w^d be a useful man to your State; & appears to have no prospect here. Please direct reply to Michael Kearnon as above; & get the letter if possible registered at the Post Office, with enclosed receipt.

Pray do your best, & oblige

Yrs very truly

Philip P. Carpenter
