Scope and content

Letter to Patrick Pearse from John D. Crimmins, Emmet Arcade, 624 Madison Avenue, New York, re Pearse’s efforts to obtain funds for St. Enda’s School. Crimmins wrote ‘You have no idea of the number of appeals that come to me. I know something of our country and the poverty of our Catholic people in the South where for one hundred dollars a shack can be erected in which to hold church services. … For generations they have been living in that condition. I am unable to meet the demands that are made upon me here’.
