'To my utter amazement, I had a letter to-day from Patrick O'Donohue, who has been permitted to live in the city of Hobart Town, informing me that he has established a newspaper called the "Irish Exile", enclosing me a copy of the last number, and proposing that [italics] I should join him [close italics] in the concern. ...The thing is a hideous absurdity altogether: but I am glad to learn that none of my friends takes anything to do with it; though I suppose it assumes to be a sort of "organ" for them.'
