GV SAFE DEPOSIT 1 Queen Victoria St London Aug. 17 E.C. 4 Dear Father, Herewith the photos. I can send you more if you like. By the way, you haven't sent me, with the literal translation, the Gaelic of the '98 ballad reproduced in Dr. Sigerson's "Songs of the Gael and the Gall". I slept, when - O wonder! Dread sounds precede, Thro' storm-clouds in thunder Flashed Knight and Steed! "Ho, bard, dost thou slumber- Or hast thou life? Rouse, rouse thee - our number Is armed for strife!" In this translation the word "number" seems peculiarly inappropriate. I would prefer a literal translation without any attempt to reproduce the rimes. This translation you could give as a poem in your "Record" (where you publish, by the way, most excellent poetry) and you may mention my name in connection with the query, if you like. Or you could ask the Irish editor of the "Irish Press", who probably knows very well where to get the original. I wrote twice on the subject to Professor John McNeill, but he did not reply. Yours sincerely, John McNeill
