Scope and Content: Letter from Fawsitt to Slattery, regretting that (Lalor) ‘has let you down again’, and sending her copies of recent correspondence [not present].

The latter explained that hurleys with 1.25 inches at the top need to be made specially, as 1 inch hurleys are normally used in Ireland. As the season in the US is to open soon, he cannot see how this difficulty may be overcome. He expresses his personal view that Lalor ‘should be made account for his failures’.

Scope and Content: Letter from Thomas Meadows & Co to Fawsitt, advising that Mr Lalor informed them of dispatch of goods on 15 March, but that the goods have not as yet arrived.
