<p>I enclose two things which will perhaps 
<lb/>do you for the outside of the cards. For the 
<lb/>Volunteer one I give a stanza from a 
<lb/>Volunteer marching song of mine which, 
<lb/>I think, is suitable. I have written a short 
<lb/>verse for the Bethlehem card, -a 
<lb/>sort of Christmas prayer for Ireland. I think you 
<lb/>had better leave the English verses inside. 
<lb/>It would be hard to get anything as 
<lb/>good in Irish, and by having English 
<lb/>inside you will appeal to a larger 
<lb/>circle of purchasers.</p>
<p>I wish I could do better.</p>
<lb/>With kindest regards
<lb/>Sincerely yours
<lb/><hi rend="underline">P.H.Pearse</hi>
<lb/>P.S. - Please let me see proofs if possible
