View 4: Left Tombstone " No town in the country - no town in the wide world has given so liberally to the benefit of the starving poor of Ireland, according to population or wealth, as the new town of Lawrence. We say this not to brag, but because it is an undoubted fact. We may have at this day 3,000 men, mostly laborers, at one dollar per day, yet these men have given upwards of $2000 to alleviate the sufferings of the people of a foreign land. Such an instance of benevolence can no where else be found - any more than can a parallel for our industry and enterprise. The Merrimack Courier, Lawrence, MA March 6, 1847 Vol. 1, No. 23."
