A flier advertising a lecture by Constance Markievicz in San Francisco in the United States in May 1922. The flier provides a biographical account of her life and political career up to that point. She left government in protest over the adoption of the Anglo-Irish Treaty and was a vociferous opponent of the agreement in the ensuing the Civil War. She travelled to the United States in early 1922 as a republican delegate and her lecture tour in the country (she visited Boston, San Francisco, Chicago, and Philadelphia) aroused considerable interest. Her tour also reputedly raised $50,000 to support the republican cause.

Letters to Patrick Pearse from John Merritt, Naval Office, Custom House, New York. The letters refer to Pearse’s efforts to raise funds for St. Enda’s School and to Merrit’s thoughts on the nature of the education system in Ireland. The letter of 20 April 1914 refers to Pearse’s attendance at a meeting in Celtic Park in New York. It reads ‘The unprovoked, senseless, brutal, and cowardly physical assault to which you were subjected at Celtic Park yesterday, within a radius of twenty five feet of me, and in which, I believe, two of your teeth were knocked out, has filled me with disgust at the strange, incomprehensible and fiendish actions of some of my misguided countrymen’. One of the letters is incomplete (the upper portion has been torn away).
