This section contains a small of collection of letters to Patrick Pearse. Many of the letters relate to Pearse’s fundraising trip to the United States from March to June 1914. The purpose of the visit was to raise funds for St. Enda’s School in Dublin and many of the letters are from potential donors and Irish Americans sympathetic to Pearse’s cultural nationalism and his efforts to promote the revival of the Irish language. Other letters relate to the routine management of St. Enda’s and to Pearse’s involvement with the Irish Volunteers.

A collection of mainly legal and financial papers relating to St. Enda’s School (Scoil Éanna), an Irish language college established by Patrick Pearse in Cullenswood House on Oakley Road in Ranelagh, Dublin, in 1908. The school moved to the Hermitage, a former country house in Rathfarnham, in 1910. Pearse founded St. Ita’s School for girls along the same general lines as St. Enda’s in Cullenswood House in 1910, when he moved St. Enda's boys' school to Rathfarnham. Some of the records refer to the precarious financial state of St. Enda’s and to Pearse’s efforts to raise funds to keep the school solvent. The section also contains some miscellaneous notes by Pearse on education-related subjects. Some of the documents listed below are in either Pearse’s hand or are endorsed with his signature.
