-To O’Mahony from John O’Donnell-June 27, 1864

27 June 1864, Mitchell Lawrence county, Indiana. Encloses $52 'forwarded per Adams express from the Fenian Brotherhood of this Circle'; $39 for the revolutionary fund, balance for the monthly fees for May and June. 'You will accept the thirty-nine as a small contribution towards our future fidelity for the Cause which you have so nobly extended troughout the country.' Limited means of members of Circle prevent the sending of a larger contribution ; 'we cant be too hard on them, they are all railroad men and their means is only from one month to another.' Thirtyone 'good members' in Circle ; initiated fifteen in the last month. Thinks it advisable to forward dues every two months to 'save express charges, on account of the small amount we would have to send. In the noble cause I remain yours truly.'
