1 Drumbar,
Cavan. 13th July 1916 Dear Sir Edward Carson. There has been a meeting of the Cavan
Delegates to the Ulster Unionist Council held today.
They consider that inasmuch as they came to the
decision, which they embodied in the joint resolution,
of the three counties, owing to the fact that they
were under the impression that the Unionist
party in England had thrown them over& will
no longer stand by them and that the Cabinet were
unanimous on the subject — which as it now appears
from later developments is not the case. The same remark applies to the American question
of supplies of munitions. Under the circumstances, they think the three
counties should now have an opportunity to
reconsider their position, as had the Cavan delegates
known all the facts, as they now appear they would
probably not have agreed to the resolution and
they request me to communicate with you &
ask your views on the subject. Ysfaithfully Travers R. Blackley Sec of Co Cavan Delegates
