MRS. PETER LATOUCHE.

MADAM,

IT is impossible to find, in the community of those by whom the late Dean of Killala was esteemed, any one, to whom, had he lived to publish his Sermons, he would have dedicated them in preference to you, whom he had so long looked up to as the affectionate and unaffected Patroness of the Widow and the Orphan, for whom he had, for eighteen years, been the assiduous and successful advocate.
