Irish Confederation (1865-1880); Letter from Michael D. Roham. Written November 11, 1878. Roham discusses his conversations with both John Devoy and O'Donovan Rossa.
Fragment of Correspondence. "Strictly Private and Confidential" appears on the first page. Daly describes a raid the night before by police on "the office" in which ten people were arrested with three individuals being "on the council". The police seized records and equipment and Daly feels that they were "unprepared" for such a raid. Daly feels that someone on the inside must have tipped off the police and mentions a Mr. Meehan by name. Daly also mentions the possibility of getting John Mitchell to help find out how the raid occurred. He tells "My Dear Friend" to stop sending money "from the states" and to not try to continue contact if he (Daly) is arrested. Asks "My Dear Friend" to please share the contents of the letter with Mr. O'Mahony. Transcription by Seamus Pender is available in HTML format.
