The letter is from Denis J. Lynch to Piaras or Pierce Béaslaí, (1881-1965). The letter refers to a court case against Lynch's brother. Lynch asks that Béaslaí, as a member of the Journalists' Association of Ireland, to stop the publication of the case in the newspapers. 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 Fáinne, a publication to organise Gaelic speakers. He soon abandoned it and became involved in politics and would later fight in the Easter Rising.
