Off -List there have been many positive comments emailed to me regarding the 1922 Nationalist series, I think it is best if those who wish to comment do so on the List, otherwise it is difficult for me to reply individually to each comment. In the last posting I published details of the Truce of 1921 , this led me back to the early days of the Truce, I had a quick glance at the Nationalists for the June -December 1921 period and came up with some interesting articles: Before we pop back to 1922 here is the first of a few articles I would like to share in the coming week : INQUIRY FROM AMERICA. To the Editor "The Nationalist and Leinster Times," Sir ---The subjoined letter was passed on to me by Mr. Michael Governey, County Council. I shall be glad to hear from anyone who is interested . I would remind your readers that the original parish of Fenagh included parts of the present parishes of Aghade and Tullow. ----Yours faithfully, T. W. Pettipice. To the Mayor of Carlow. Sir---Would you be kind enough to find out for me if any relations of Thomas Salters, who came to the city of Allegehrey, Pennsylvannia, about 1845, are still living ? He came from the parish of Fenagh, with his wife --Jane Joyce ---who had a brother, the Rev. John Joyce of Trinity College Dublin. Mr Joyce was one of the first ministers of the city of Pittsburgh. Thomas Slaters made a Will in 1858, in which he leaves a hundred dollars to every widow in the parish of Fenagh, and five hundred dollars to his nephew , one Peter Neill. I am a grand-niece of Mrs. Jane Salters. I found this old Will , but no mention is made of the money having been paid to the widows. If you will kindly look into this matter I will consider it a great favour. ----Yours respectfully, Ida J. Forsaith, Pittsburgh, Penn. U.S.A.
