Letter from Roger Casement, Berlin to Captain Hans Boehm, expressing concern about the formation of the Irish Brigade.

of political instinct and that even were Germany in a position to help the Irish people she woud do so.

A man in doubt is a bad worker; and I have been in this doubt for some time now, and I fear the doubt increases.

I say this to you because if the Brigade takes shape I need you for it, and at any rate you know something of the Irish in America -what they stand for, what they hope for.

Yours very sincerely,

Roger Casement
