Dear Fergus
Thank you and the Unitarian congregation so much for inviting my family and I to this unveiling and Service.
I was very honoured to do the unveiling. What a wonderful find!
We very much liked the Service especially your excellent talk on the Unitarians, their importance to the United Irishman cause and the story of the Emmets marrying 2 of the congregation!. I was particularly moved by the excerpt from Robert’s speech from the dock rendered so well. Please convey my family’s and my own great thanks to all concerned.
I would love you to see the portraits we have here at Altidore of Jane Patten Emmet and Mrs Margaret Coleville and of course our other Emmet family possessions. Give me a ring or e-mail and we can make arrangements.
Kind regards and many thanks

from Philip Emmet
