“ ‘The Lass that wears the Green,’ ‘Gamby Ora,’ ‘Paddy O'Rafferty.’ I have gleaned the three preceding airs for you. You may depend on their being genuine Hibernians. I had them taken down from the voice. The songs usually sung to them are as low stuff as can be. I am firmly of opinion that the very popular air of Peggy O‘Rafferty is worthy of being adopted into the singing class, provided a good song can be had for it. I shall be glad to know your mind of it, and how my verses please you. The Lass that wears the Green is surely a fine little air. My song to it and the one following, are just warm from the Parnassian mint. I cannot as yet guess how they stand.”
