Letter from John J. O’Mahony to Alice Stopford Green (1847-1929). A campaign was launched featuring many prominent figures such as W.B. Yeats and George Bernard Shaw to secure a reprieve for Casement but he was hanged on 3 August 1916. O'Mahony was a supporter of the campaign and the letter refers to signatures for a petition.Alice Stopford Green was an Irish historian and nationalist. While not a supporter of armed rebellion, her house provided a space for leading nationalists to meet. Stopford Green had collaborated with Roger Casement on Congo Reform and, after the Easter Rising in 1916, she tried to save him from execution

 Rathkeale, Co. Limerick 29 Aug 1916 Madam I was from home when the enclosed was received here. I regret therefore that I had only a few hours to procure signatures. Otherwise I could have it more extensively signed, as the general feeling here is that the execution of Roger Casement would only perpetuate bitterness and ill feeling. Your obt.
