THOMAS D'ARCY MCGEE in Canada, I beg leave to dedicate this simple "Sketch of his Life" to you, whose friendship he valued above all others, and well he might, for a more manly, sincere, disinterested friend he never had, and no other man ever could have in this world. As an Irishman, I feel that it is an honour paid to his memory, who was my friend, to acknowledge, even in this humble manner, your liberal and firm support, as a friend and constituent of our great IRISH CANADIAN STATESMAN AND ORATOR, of whom we are so proud, through good report and evil report, during his brilliant political career in Canada, up to the time of his sad and sorrowful death. Ever faithfully your obdt. servt. HENRY J. O'C. CLARKE. Montreal, 1st December, 1868. |
