Letter from Ellen Russell to her sister Rosa Mulholland concerning a book about her late husband Lord Russell of Killowen

Letter from Ellen Russell, Tadworth Court, Tadworth, Surrey, England to her sister Rosa [Mulholland] concerning a book about her late husband Lord Russell of Killowen. Remarks how much she dislikes it '...it is only a hasty impressionist sketch roughly and crudely done. In some parts it is clever no doubt the parts where Mr Barry O'Brien is well to the front and indeed one troubles to think what Sir Charles Russell would have done without him. It was he who was the author of the Parnell speech, that is clear-conceited little owl!'

Russell, Ellen, 1836-1918
