Barrett, Meelick House, Dromana, Carrick-on-Shannon, enclosing receipt for his subscription for the "Gaelic Journal". He explains the delays and the difficulties involved with the Journal, and is not confident of continued publication " the prospect does not look bright at present in consequence of our heavy debt to the printer caused by the insufficient number of subscribers".

Enclosed receipt from the Gaelic Union to Mr. Barrett for six shillings.

Letter from Richard O Mulrenin, Honorary Secretary of the Gaelic Union, 17 Carlisle St., South Circular Road, Dublin, to S.J. Barrett, citing pressure of work and illness as the reasons for his delay in replying. He states that the Gaelic Union is surviving in spite of "the underhand efforts to injure by some of the members of the so-called "Preservation Society". He states further that the Preservation Society must change and so some worthwhile work, and that it does not have Irish scholars. "I mention these things in confidence seeing that you take such as interest in our native tongue". Enclosed receipt for ten shillings to Mr Barrett from "the Gaelic Union for the Preservation of the Irish Language".

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.

Letter from Richard O Mulrenin, 17 Trinity College, to Mr. S Barrett apologising for his delay in acknowledging his receipt, saying that he had rheumatic gout for six weeks and, as everyone on the Council is working, they have to give of their spare time. He praises the Rev. Close in particular, who also acts as Treasurer of the RIA. He outlines his own academic achievements and laments the lack of support. "No money is to be maintained by Irish except by pretenders and humbugs, and then only by swindling". He complains of the resources available to the Society for the Preservation of the Irish Language and their lack of work. The amalgamation would suit the Gaelic Union as it would give them access to money for publications, but there are those within the Society who oppose them.
