Dear Mr Curry

Had I not felt that I am addressing a man of good sense and of a generous heart I would not send you the enclosed malicious letter of some fiendish person, who would feign represent himself as your friend. But I am satisfied that you will agree with me when you have read it, that the writer - whoever he is - is unworthy of the society of the literati. He would feign create a spark of unchristian jealousy between two men who have a common object - the revival of our Mother tongue - The letter has a name to it but that name is evidently a forgery.

I am anxious thus early to send to to you that you may know of the existence of such [disturbing] of goodwill. I have heard of your kind word of me, and I am convinced that, from what you know of my character, you look on me as incapable of [dis?]

The base writer may go to you and talk highly of me. It is possible you know the handwriting. I pray you return it to me as I am determined to detect the fiend.

Let me now congratulate you on your appointment in the Catholic University. Three months ago my friend Archdeacon Hamilton told me it would be so. -

What evening could I have the pleasure of calling on you to consult with you on one or two matters. -

Believe me

Yours very truly

Martin A. O'Brennan
