Scope and content

Copy of a letter Father Hayes sent to the Saturday Evening Post magazine in the United States following up on the article 'The Irish Go It Alone' by Ernest O. Hauser, published in vol. 226, no. 17, 24 October 1953. Father Hayes was one of the people interviewed and pictured for the article. Hayes thanks the Post for an 'excellent article' and writes that: Hauser made an excellent impression and 'we hope he will return'; there is a mistake in calling our playing fields here 'soccer fields' as they are Gaelic fields meant for National Games; the article evoked some strong letters to him from Irish expatriates; Muintir na Tíre now exists on both sides of the Irish border; 'Would the Irish of all shades in U.S.A. help us in this work.'
