Description: | He writes "It would help us greatly in our work of Propanganda here if you could give this a nice little notice [the contribution to the fund to the Gaelic League] in the Claideamh. I don't want you to mention the Southern Cross at all, except incidentally, but I want you to say something nice about the Argentine Gaels, something that will look good without seeming to be praising the paper". |
