40 EAST 68TH STREET, NEW YORK,
APRIL 15, 1901.
MY DEAR MR. MURRAY:—It is with pleasure I acknowledge the receipt of
your advice that the Annual Volume of our Historical Society is about
ready for distribution to our members.
This will be the third volume so distributed, the series showing a
constant increase in historical value and interest. We have undertaken a
task and set a high standard, to which are attached great
responsibilities, which must be maintained and continued. I trust the
end of the twentieth century will find our society still vigorous.
During the last century many pretentious efforts were made to collect
and publish matters of general interest in regard to the Irish and their
descendants in America. They failed primarily for want of an
organization to support their efforts. The organization we have; the
means we require. Work of this character costs much, and cannot be
continued on a scale to do it justice, without a substantial treasury.
We would have ample means modestly to continue our work without
extending it beyond prudent requirements, if each member of the Society
would pay his annual dues.
The honor of belonging to such a Society as ours should be a matter of
pride with our members and everyone should keep in good standing. It is
a requirement that dues should be paid. It would certainly be a
reflection on a member to be dropped, and still there is no alternative.
Any of our annual members may become life members by the payment of $50.
A number of gentlemen have already taken this step, and their generosity
is to be commended as having been specially helpful to the Society. If
this letter be circulated among our members, I would urge as many as
possible to present their names for life membership. From the dues thus
derived, I hope to see established a permanent fund, which when wisely
and safely invested, will assure the Society an income with which to go
forward and enlarge its work.
It should be borne in mind that the American-Irish Historical Society is
not a political organization. Its object is the study and handing down
of Irish and Irish-American history, and it should be brought to the
highest possible standard.
Thus far, our career as an historical organization has been replete with
earnest and successful work. The future is bright for a continuance of
our great mission; the field is large, the cause noble, the end
patriotic, far-reaching, magnificent.
In conclusion let me again urge our members to come forward in answer to
this appeal, with their contributions, large and small. There are but a
few hundred dollars in our treasury, when there should be thousands.
It will be highly encouraging to the officers of the Society to see that
this appeal is met with a prompt and generous response.
