Scope and Content: He published De Róiste’s letter on national unity last week. They ‘have been hit hard here,’ their manager in Cork Gaol, and they are ‘wondering who will be included in the next batch.’ Tadhg Barry, a weekly contributor, has now dropped out and ‘Neath Shandon Steeple’ notes ‘go by the board.’ Asks de Róiste to do something to supply the want, as suggested by the Directors.
