Mentions the poems of Davis and the marking of previously published volumes by Charles Gavan Duffy. 4pp 15 c. August - September 1848 ‘Extract of letter from Deasy’ to Daniel Owen Madden. He reiterates the point of his last letter, hoping the government would allow Denny Lane to leave prison upon the sole condition of his travelling upon the continent for 2 or 3 months. Deasy thinks this would be more agreeable to Lane and that the government may require a termination of his connection with the (Repeal) Clubs which has already occurred de facto. Some consideration is needed about the substance and form of the arrangement in order to secure Lane’s release and future action in politics. Wishes to speak with McCullogh who has great regard for Lane. ‘As to what WP may think or say I attach very little importance to it.’ (See also U611/30 and /50) 3pp
