MS. letter from Dómhnall Ó Ceallacháin (Donal O'Callaghan), Gresham Hotel, Dublin, to [Florence O'Donoghue], IRA Officer Commanding, Cork No.1 Brigade area in reply to PR37/1. He will perform his duty (regarding the Treaty proposals) to the best of his ability. He declines 'to be governed by orders or threats - open or implied.' His conscience will be the sole arbiter of his action, when he is in possession of all the facts and circumstances. If in acting in the best interests of the country he is judged guilty of treason he will suffer the consequences, but this will not influence his decision.
