Contains a letter from Aubrey De Vere to Robert Perceval Graves. De Vere notes that his returning William Rowan Hamilton's sonnet, noting that the sonnet deserves to be published due to its expression of loyalty to Ireland, as various people have attempted to deny Hamilton's Irish heritage. De Vere further states that his poem Inisfail was never meant to inflame tensions between Ireland and England, but to simply remind the 'higher classes' of the suffering of the Irish people. Enclosed alongside De Vere's letter is Hamilton's "Sonnet to England."
