Description: | Writes of Father O'Flanagan saying "I think your idea of a million dime fund for the protection of the Irish language is a very good one, and I shall be glad to do what I can to put it on foot in America". Casement worries over who to have as trustees of the fund and considers whether the Coisde Gnotha of the Gaelic League would be suitable and whether the funds would be used for "general porpagandit [sic] purposes". |
