Chartist Ancestors Blog: Feargus O'Connor's letter: deciphering a Chartist mystery
http://chartist-ancestors.blogspot.com/2015/07/feargus-oconnors-letter-deciphering.html
Saturday, 11 July 2015. Feargus O'Connor's letter: deciphering a Chartist mystery. I recently came across and could not resist buying handwritten letter by the Chartist leader Feargus O’Connor dated 20 October 1838. The letter is badly water stained and carries a rusty mark from the paperclip which must have attached it to other papers for quite some time. What I can read with some confidence is set out below. If you have better luck than me with the missing words and phrases, please do let me know.
