-To O’Mahony from Jas McNamara-July 12, 1864

12 July 1864, Toledo, Box 285. Encloses $100 'subscribed by the members of this Circle at the request of Capt. Daily [James Stephens].' As O'Mahony is aware, 'previous to Capt. Daly's visit here we were as a Society defunct.' On news of Daly's proposedosed visit to Toledo 'on his way east' arranged to have about a dozen, mostly old, members to meet him. They were so well satisfied with Daly's statement that they rented a hall 'and are now getting along slowly.' Circle has now about thirty members, 'with, I think, a fair prospect of continuing, as the length of time for which they have to labor is to some extent known.' Will not make any promises; 'there is nothing certain about the stability of our people here.' Is ready to help whenever he can.
