Form und InhaltLetter recording McGuire’s reaction to the news of the vote in Dail Eireann in favour of the treaty, 64 to 57 votes, 'all friends of Ireland, Disgusted, all factions'. In a solidly negative tone McGuire reports the American view that men came to the US and used the 'Irish Republic' to extort money. He states such men are known as ' "a pack of bunco steerers and con men and women" '. Opinion towards Fawsitt is also negative: 'your job as Consul of the Irish Republic is regarded as a fake and you could not appear here honorably'. McGuire also requests that Fawsitt do his best to get money back for Americans who had invested in the republic. Original letter is dated 1921, however, has been dated to 1922 in respect of its content.
