Because of his long loyalty to McMaster's paper, and because of their mutual friends in Gertrude and Wilfrid, he apologizes for intruding upon McMaster's privacy. McMaster has alluded to the conquest of Ireland by Henry II several times, denying all complicity in the matter by Adrian IV. An article has appeared in this month's number of Harper's Monthly on this subject which will probably do some harm at the present time. O'Hagan's attention was called to the article by a member of the Sodality of which he is Director. He is to speak before this group soon and would like McMaster's advice regarding books dealing with this Irish problem. If he knows of any or has documents he will lend O'Hagan, they will returned safely. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
