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).

Five cartes de visite of sculptural monuments related to the workshop of James Pearse, 27 Great Brunswick Street, Dublin. Some of cards are annotated by James Pearse. Two of the images are described as the ‘Pulpit / Inchicore / Rough model’. One of the cards is annotated on the reverse ‘Pearse & [Edward Sharpe, sculptors]’.
