M. A. Herrigan O. P. St. Joseph’s Convent,

porter of the GAEL.
Mr. Duffy, Guelph, Ont. — The May num-
ber of your valuable paper is to hand and to
say that I am pleased with it would feebly
express the pleasure it gives me to see the pro-
gress you are making in the propogation, of the
Irish Language. I showed the copy you sent
me to Dr. Nuuan of this city and he at once
handed me one years subscription and requested
me to send you his name as a subscriber. * *
I shall only deem it an honor to be allowed the
privilege of introducing the first real Gaelic
paper that has ever come to Guelph. As for
myself I am not much of an Irish scholar, but I
hope that by close attention I may be able to get
along very nicely in a short time, and your val-
uable paper will be of great service in attaining
this end. Hoping that you will send the paper
at your earliest convenience, I remain yours truly.
Mr. Thomas Helen, Lewisville Texas — Is a
warm admirer of Irish literature, and hopes we
will reproduce some beautiful Irish proverbs
which he saw in the Dublin Irishman, Shamrock
&c. some years ago. He was made acquainted
with the GAEL's existence through the Dublin
Freeman.
John J. Flynn, Chicago — Wants to support
the GAEL.
J. Early Quincy Ill — Is well pleased with the
appearance of the GAEL, and hopes it will prove

scribe to our Journal.

supporter of the GAEL.

Mike Donohue, Westfield Texas — Does not
want the language of his ancestors to perish.

vertised in the United Irishman and wants to
have it to add to his stock of Irish. (Friend
Keating, get some good Irish speaker, and read
the Irish as he pronounces it. A good English
speaker, tho' uneducated will correct an unskilled
English reader. The same remark applies to the
Irish reader.

P. S. Mc.Bride, Youngstown, Ill. — Says,
have received today No. 5 of the GAEL. It is the
first copy of it I ever saw. I have carefully look-
ed it through, and I do not hesitate in saying
that I am well pleased with your undertaking and
I hope that in the near future you will be re-
warded for your trouble by seeing it in the hands
of every Irishman in the United States. I will
do all I can to increase its circulation here.
J. B. Pewters, Secretary N. L- League, Dubu-
que, Iowa says — I am not able to read Irish I
am sorry to say, but I want in every way pos-
sible at my command to help to keep the word
and name Irish in as large a type and circulation
as I possibly can during my natural life. I know
of a few men, however, who can, and when the
paper arrives (of course) get them to subscribe.
It is no doubt a literary curiosity, and as such I
want it, besides, its being Irish attracts the celtic
attention, yours ever in the cause &c.

desirous of learning my native language, and
not having the opportunity of attending the
Philo Celtic schools, I saw your address, and
therefore write for your journal.
John Purcell Paterson, N. J. — Writes to us in
Gaelic saying that he would like to see more Irish

although he need not be ashamed of it, for it is
as good as any we have yet seen in print.

ing accidentally picked up the November copy

the ideas set forth therein, we desire to have it
forwarded to our address.
