Document 1 William Hume writes to William Stanley about responses to famine at local level Glen Lodge, Killybegs, 2nd April 1847  Sir I must confess, as a Landlord (not receiving any rent) my inability to assist my poor tenants in their need. But the plan of the Commissary General, I suppose accords with the views of Government, to procrastinate relief, until starvation and death ensues. This is I assure you the general impression.  Your obedient Servant William Hume William Stanley Esquire [Relief Commission Papers, RLFC 3/2/7/8] Courtesy of National Archives, Counties in Time CD Rom History In-Service Team (HIST)
