Dillon's entry in the Oxford DNB states that on 6 March 1889 he sailed for Australia to solicit contributions; he also toured New Zealand, and returned to Ireland via the United States in late April 1890. His mission raised about £33,000 . 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Addressed to My dear Miss Meredith and signed Yours very Sincerely / John Dillon . In fair condition, lightly aged, with very light transfer of ink from another letter (from blotting pad?) onto third leaf, including signature. Folded for postage. In reply to a letter he states that he would certainly go down to see her if he were in London during the spring - but I hope to sail to Australia on the 1st March & expect to be away till the end of September . He asks to be remembered to her father, whose name Dillon saw on the Protest Committee with very great pleasure , and whom he hopes is gaining strength . He is glad they all thought the photograph a good one . From the Meredith album. From an album of letters received by the novelist George Meredith and his daughter Marie Eveleen (Mariette; 1871-1933).
