Letter from Patrick Pearse to Joseph McGarrity about arms landed at Howth

Irish-born Joseph McGarrity lived in Philadelphia. He had given $1,000 to the Irish Volunteers and for the purchase of arms that were brought into Howth harbour in July 1914. In this letter, dated 12 August 1914, Pearse admits that the actual number of guns landed at Howth "was only 900", and also outlines the recent split in the Irish Volunteers for McGarrity.
