-To O’Mahony from J. Jackson (Stephens)-July 27, 1863

27 July [1863], Dublin. 'Brother, You have already met the bearer of this note— Mr Maurice O'Donohue.' Is 'one of our best men.' Sorry to see him go, even for a short time, but circumstances (which O'D. may explain to O'M.) compel him to leave;

he intends staying in New York. 'If at all in your power to serve him .... you will gratify not only me but many of our best men'; he brings a letter from me to the Pagan [Patrick O'Leary], who will let you know its contents. Has already acknowledged receipt of 'your last order, ^50.'
