"To the American Press"
II desire to send my fluctuations to
the annual meeting of the Associated
Press. Every good cause is indebted
to it, and the cause of Irish liberty
perhaps more than any. The chief
enemies of Ireland are ignorance and
Misrepresentation. BY letting the
truth be known about the aims and
objects of Irish national movement, the
Associated Press is doing great SER
vice to Justice and freedom.
