This old letter has weathered well!


 This letter from Henry Parkes is almost 160 years old, its about my 2xGreat Grandfather William Long who came to Australia from Ardstraw, Tyrone, Ireland in 1856.


Translation...   (I think)                                       Warrington. South Creek... April 4th 1868.

Dear Mr Young,

I have spoken to the Inspector General about Mr William Long.  What you ask will be at once done and I will hear  something something... if I can serve his interests consistently  with duty to the public for justice.                                                        Yours truly Henry Parkes
