Sir,
There are many reasons why such remarks, as occur to me, on the subject of a provision for the most indigent portion of our countrymen, should be addressed to you. Among those reasons, are the unwearied attention with which you have investigated the state of Ireland; the extensive and accurate knowledge you have acquired of that state; your ability to improve her condition, and your anxious desire for that improvement; but above all, the patience, I should rather say the kindness with which you have, at all times, listened to my crude opinions, even when those opinions differed very widely from your own.

The author grapples with questions of poverty, hunger and destitution, using evidence from government reports and the testimonies of witnesses before the House of Commons Select Committee.
