God forbid that I should for one moment be thought to depreciate the value of what was sent to Ireland, or the motive which sent it on its errand of mercy. But, Sir, whilst I admit with gratitude it directly saved thousands of lives, I am forced to own that in the method of its distribution, it sowed the seed of a state of things which ...I fear has been indirectly the cause of almost as much de- structive destitution as that which, for the time, was arrested. A great proportion of Ireland has, with sorrow- be it said, been as yet, to a great degree, most unfortunately possessed. Very man)' 208 THE LETTERS OF S. G. O. July 5 possessors of large estates have ever been absentees ; of those who do reside, very many have paid little attention to the social evils around them ; the gentry, it is notorious, have not pulled to- gether.
