Glad at the 'improved state of affairs in Ireland.The cleaning out of Dublin Castle was a great change'. All from the old town are proud that a Clonakilty man was a 'central figure in this reconstruction' (reference to Michael Collins). Hopes the people of Ireland will make good use of their liberties 'and make the Land contented and prosperous'. Mentions a 'great deal of unrest and discontent' in the United States and the 'partly successful' enforcement of the Prohibition Law. He cannot celebrate St. Patrick's day with a 'pot or glass' and has only a weak beer unlike Clonakilty Porter.
