Correspondence
The Secretary,
2 February 1981
Incorporated Law Society of Ireland
Dear Sir,
Greetings from Trumbull County, Ohio, from myself
and my family to all of my colleagues in Ireland.
The purpose of this letter is to enable me to make
contact with and subsequently correspond with one or
more lawyers of my approximate age group in Ireland so
that we may learn more effectively as much about Ireland,
Irish society, Irish history, Irish people and the Irish way of
life as possible. As you can probably tell by my name, I am
descended from Irish people (and nothing but Irish people).
I am enclosing a resume to give a little personal back-
ground on myself.
If it is possible, I would request that you turn this letter
over to one or more of your members who might be in my
general age group (I am thirty-six years old) so that I may
be able to correspond with one or more of your members
and their families. If we are successful in setting up effec-
tive correspondence between my family and that of one or
more of your members, it could lead to an exchange of
visits to our respective countries and homes and other joint
activities of mutual interest and benefit.
Also, I am interested in learning about the Irish legal
system as it compares to our legal system in the United
States and especially in Ohio.
It is also my hope to travel to Ireland within the next two
years.
Yours sincerely,
PATRICK J . DONLIN
Attorney at Law

Dear Sir,
I am writing to inquire as to whether you can assist me
in arranging for a meeting with Irish lawyers on a trip that
we are planning to Ireland on or about 28 June 1981.
I am an attorney practising in the state of New Jersey
in the United States with a general practice. While the trip
to Ireland is primarily a vacation, I anticipate being in
Dublin with my wife for a day or two during which time 1
would look forward to the opportunity of meeting with
Irish lawyers who may be specifically involved with the
criminal justice system and perhaps even observing one of
your Court proceedings.
My practice consists of general practice, including
litigation and criminal law, as well as estate and corporate
practice.
If you are able to put us in touch with persons who
might be of assistance to us, we would appreciate the
same.
Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
Very truly yours,
TIMOTHY J . DUNN, II
Attorney at Law
