Transcription
Town Hall, Limerick, May 9, 1865.
Sir: At a public meeting held in this city on Saturday, the 6th instant, to express the opinion of the citizens of Limerick on the assassination of President Lincoln and the attempt on the life of Mr. Seward, a series of resolutions were passed unanimously, and which I now enclose, with a request that you will have copies sent to Mrs. Lincoln, also to Mr. Seward.
Assuring you of my own feeling of sympathy with the American people, and abhorrence of the cowardly act which has been committed,
I have the honor to remain your obedient servant,
JOHN R. TINSLEY,
Mayor of Limerick.
His Excellency C. F. Adams,
United States Minister, London.
