Annie O'Donnell left Ireland for America in 1898. one of 15, 175 Irish women who left that year, most of them going into domestic service. On the boat to America she became friends with Jim Phelan. a 22-year-old farmer who had run away from home to join his uncle in Indianapolis. Annie went to work as a children's nurse for the W. L. Mellon family of Pittsburgh. Her letters to Jim Phelan, published for the first time, are a unique contribution to the growing literature on women's emigration. Annie O'Donnell had been well educated in Ireland and her letters are lively and enjoyable to read.
