1 Copy Sent Eanair 9ad 1916 Eanair 9adh, 1916. A duine uasal, Chonnaic mé an lá
eile trachtas ar do dhrama .i. "Fear
na milliún bpunt", agus ó's fíor
gur mór do moladh é, ní fulair
nó gur breagh an drama é. Ar an adhmhar san, ba mhaith liom
cóip d'fhaghail le feiscint an feidir
linne sa gColáiste é cur ar an
ardán. Tá an t-airgead na chomhair le faghail
sa litir seo, agus ba geal liom ar
fad é bheith again chomh luath & is feidir é. 2
Táimid ag déanamh ár ndithchillín
annso le cúis na teangadh chur ar
aghaidh. Bidheann rannganna
comhráidh againn sa siamsa d'éis
an tsuipéir i gcomhnuidhe agus
tigeann sluagh mhaith chughainn.
Tá sprid mhór i measc na mbuachaill,
agus is breagh thar barr a
ndúil sa nGaedhilg. Bidheann spaisteoireacht againn ar
fud na tíre mor-timchioll ag
labhairt na Gaedhilge, agus tá cuid aca
ag tosnamh i labhairt go blasta. Mar san, "guala le ghualainn", agus beidh
sí fé meas arís. Mise le meas mór

Dear Sir,
I recently saw an exposition on your play, ‘The Man of the Million Pounds’, and it must be a fine play as it was highly praised. For that reason, I would like to obtain a copy to see if we in the College could stage it. Payment for it is enclosed in this letter, and I would dearly love to have it as soon as possible. We are doing our best here to progress the cause of the language. We hold language classes in the gathering after supper always and a good crowd attends. There is a great spirit among the boys and their interest in Irish is truly wonderful. We hold walks in the surrounding countryside through Irish, and some of them are beginning to speak fluently. So, “shoulder to shoulder”, and it will be held in high esteem again. Yours respectfully ,
