The letter is from Rev. J. Bradley PP, County Antrim. Bradley writes to to request
a copy of Piaras Béaslaí's play, 'Fear na Miliúin Punt'. Piaras Béaslaí (born Percy
Frederick Beazley) was an English born writer, revolutionary, politician, language
revivalist, journalist and a member of the IRB. In February of 1916 he published the
Fàinne, a publication to organise Gaelic speakers. He soon abandoned it and became
involved in politics and would later fight in the Easter Rising. He wrote twenty plays
between 1913 and 1939.
