Letters to Patrick Pearse from John Merritt, Naval Office, Custom House, New York.

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’.
