, tionists exists on the Irish soil at pres
y ent, co. operating With this Brotherhood

re couraged by it. All our labors up t
ar this time would have been vain, had W
not such an organization working in u1
~ ion with US, for it is in Ireland that o.
i. ganization is most needed, There El
n glish tyranny must receive the dcat
ID blow. Now that we have more traine
