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.
