Scope and content

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.
