Abstract
IE TCD MS 9386/1343: Letter from Sir Charles Gavan Duffy, Villa Cornelia, Cimiez, Nice, France to Richard Piggot dated December 1883 discussing careers in journalism: "I am very busy at the moment; but I wish to say that I read your note with satisfaction.

And not in political journalism also but in [?] writing generally. At any rate I cannot recommend Sydney. I have too many [?] in Australia..."
