I further referred to them in the House of Commons as follows:--

“The Government, therefore, propose to summon immediately, on behalf

of the Crown, a Convention of representative Irishmen in Ireland,

to submit to the British Government a Constitution for the future

government of Ireland within the Empire.”

I shall be glad to learn as soon as may be convenient to you the names

of the gentlemen to whom invitations should now be sent.

Yours very truly,
