Sir, - What a lovely read on a grey August morning. I refer to Mary Gallagher's "An Irish women's Diary" (August 15th) on the kindness her dying brother received in America.
In our good days of the Celtic Tiger, let us hope that America's contribution to our current situation and to so many generations of Irish people will always be acknowledged. - Yours, etc.,
Mary de Blacam, Monkstown, Co Dublin
