Scope and content

Letter from Richard O Mulrenin, 17 Trinity College, to Mr. S Barrett apologising for his delay in replying, due to overwork and illness. He agrees with Mr. Barrett in relation to the printers of the "Gaelic Journal". "The way printers go on they would try the patience of a saint". He outlines the financial difficulties involved. He mentions Mr. Cusack is a member of the Council, although he is much taken up with the athletic movement. "Although he speaks Irish fluently and correctly he can scarcely be termed an Irish scholar". He also complains of the "opposition and misrepresentation" from some of the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language.
