1 11, Grosvenor Place,
Rathmines, Dublin. 8-II. -16. Dear Dr. Kelly, Yours of Jan. 17th, with enclosure (envelope) reahhed me on
Feb. 2nd, — similarly marked by Censor, as all American letters now
seem to be. The enclosed copy will interest you, and will probab-
ly interest our friends Robert and Austin still more. I read Presddent Wilson's speeches as mere electioneering, —
creating a public opinion in favour of "preparedness". Am I right?
The papers here tell us he is preparing for war, but I cannot believe
that. With all good wishes, Francis Sheehy Skeffington
