Correspondence of Thomas Conolly on Irish political matters and his financial and personal matters,

1779.

In a rough copy of a letter to John Hobart, 2nd Earl of Buckinghamshire, then serving as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland which is dated 17 October 1779, Conolly writes: ‘... I told you of my fixed determination to remain a freeman in parliament. The carrying on of the King’s business, which is in truth the business of the kingdom, I never wished to give any opposition to in any administration, much less in yours who have behaved so honourably by this country, as will be confessed by everyone.’ Several other letters relate to Volunteering and military preparations generally in Derry [of which Thomas Conolly was Governor] and also the raising of (hitherto inadequate) subscriptions in Yorkshire for similar purposes of defence.
