| Summary: | Dated 20 January 1921, Devoy's letter relates to the political divisions in Ireland and its effect on Irish American organisations. He refers to perceived efforts to bring about a split in Clan na nGael, his criticisms of Joe McGarrity, who he sees as not being unsuited to a leadership role, and his concerns that 'De Valera wants war with us, not co-operation, and is determined on getting organisations here that will do his bidding'. He launches a broad criticism of De Valera's character and politics.
