Scope and Content: Macartney sends Daniel 300 circulars to sign, and notes that he received no reply from the 37 circulars that he sent to various MacCarthys. He thinks this is because he is "unknown" and that circulars bearing Daniel's signature will be more likely to draw replies. He notes that D MacCarthy of Carrigaline, Cork has raised an objection to their project, stating that "men's minds are too occupied with political plans to attend to the proposal."
