Letter from John Devoy to Roger Casement regarding the sinking of the Lusitania, America's anti-war attitude, the progress of the War, the taxation plans on liquor dealers in Ireland, informing him "all approve the Treaty", and discussing Casement's ill health and his Consul,

1915 May 21.

Devoy speaks of the Lusitania and states;" I really believe that in the end the Lusitania will help us here. The incident has raised the question, why should American citizens sail on English ships when they have good American vessels to travel on? And another question is that of the humanity of carring passengers on vessels loaded with munitions of war.". Devoy also firmly believes the Lusitania incident will not draw the United Sates into the war.
