Scope and Content: Thanks de Róiste for his letter to the Independent. 'Every thing seems to be going along splendidly for Ireland, its only a question of how long it will take. It amused me very much to read of England's debts and all the fuss they are making.....I wonder how much per week I cost them in Police, soldiers, tanks, etc!.....I have just about done half the time I was sentenced for'.
