Letter from Max W. Karstensen to [David] Somerville about Casement's letters, postcard from [Thomas St John Gaffney] to Karstensen, and newspaper cuttings relating to Casement,
[1921-1974].
Letter from Karstensen to Somerville, 1921. These letters, Karstensen writes, prove that Casement was not in the pay of Germany 'He actually had in G[erman]y no other income than from his pen and from small sums sent to him in uncertain intervals by the American Irish ... the letters also prove that he hated Berlin ... Casement came over to Germany only to get from the Gov[ernmen]t the formal and public assurance that Germany was not the enemy of Ireland'. He then goes on to write about Gaffney 'Reckless and regardless, but himself always safe under cover ... Casement was his victim. C[asement] never wanted open rebellion and revolution in Ireland'. He finishes by saying 'the Jewish Party' is watching and spying on Somerville's shop.
