1921 Jan. 20.

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.
