Cur síos
Letter from Joe Cleary, New York to his sister Kathleen, dated 1 Nov. 1921. Topics discussed include family matters and the affect of the Truce in the War of Independence, "There was quite a number of officers (Volunteers) in town all day and at the dance. There was a few soldiers there also and were treated kindly – the Truce of course. I am afraid it won’t last long. I do not see for the life of me how the conference can settle the question. Our side is bound to a Republic by the blood of martyrs, soldiers and murdered peasants. They also have the rights of small nations freed by the Allies of whom England was not the greatest. The other side has the right of might but are both ashamed and afraid to use it Lloyd George cannot give a Republic except he must. Well I am afraid that we will die and women will cry before it is over. But I promise you they’ll get more than they got in South Africa before the Tricolour goes down."
