It is a letter written in reply to the re.que.at of certain persons in Cambridge that he would deliver an Address on behalf of a benevolent institution in that town :— *" Dear John Conlan, Esq., James Cox, Esq., and my numerous other Irish friends in Cambridge — Yes : and God bless you. The revolution has commenced ; the first gun is fired ; England has sent the Irish troops to Abyssinia for fear of revolt ; do you suppese England would spend fifty millions for two English missionaries? Seventeen millions of Fenians of Irish descent in the world ; two hundred millions of Hindoo Fenians in India ; forty millions of French Fenians in France ; and several hundred (heathen) millions more of all nations, who do not love England with Christian fondness. America is going up ; England is going down. Buy Ireland for Alabama claims or fight J George B. Upton made the ppeech at Faneuil Hall : — Pay up, or war. Yes, I will speak at Cambridge for my Jrish friends. Tell Cox to take the chair. Regards to Forbes. Two live men ought to make a live paper. Almost a quarter of a century since I graduated at Cambridge — from a grocery store — since I was known to all the colleges — getting in flour and potatoes at the back door; since I drove fastest horse of all the students — jn Holmes's grocer's waggon. While the students were learning dead languages, I was learning living languages. Have met many a scholar abroad with Hebrew. Latin, and Greek, who had to use my Spanish, Italian, and French to get a beefsteak, or keep out of the hands of the police. — Sincerely, Geobgb Francis Train,"
