Summary: | Dinneen also thanks Pearse for his favourable review of "Cill Airne" [Cill Áirne, trácht ar spéar-radharcaibh Locha Léin agus ná tire 'na thimhcheall] and remarks that "I have been watching the growth of your mind Irish-wards with interest, you will not be offended at my using the expression Irish-wards but it is a road in which we all have to travel". Dinneen hopes the Gaelic League are convening a meeting so that he could speak and "pour out my wrath like molten lead on the heads of these Commissioners" and encourages Dr. O'Hickey [Micheál P. Ó hIcí] to "raise a storm that that will eventually hurl Maheffy [John Pentland Mahaffy] & Co. from the half helm of that old [h?]ulk". |
