1845 through 1852 the Potato Famine was horrible. Now, I, Shannon am going to the United States, I nhave heard of no such famine there, which is just one reason to go. I shall miss home, but my family had no land that was really ours. I have heard the United States is giving FREE LAND! I hope it's true, We need it so.
-
We've been here a few weeks now,only Pa has a job. Most the posters around say "no Irish need apply" on it.. I hope the Lord is looking after us.
-
I finally got a job! even if it is just plucking the chickens, it's better than no job. The pay is low, but that's okay I need any money I can get.
-
Pa got to race for the land and lost! we are allowed to try, since we have not yet raced, but Pa may no longer race. I hope we get some land soon. Ma and I shall race in the next race they have here.
-
At first we thought oh no we're goning to lose, when we found a flag and replaced it with our own! We have our own land!

Sorry, I've been to busy farming our land to write much. Farming doesn't pay very well, but it is better than plucking chickens. Sorry got to go,
Shannon McCarthy
