Michael Davitt writes to ask President Roosevelt to make a statement in favor of Irish independence from England. Noting that England very much admires Roosevelt and would listen to him, Davitt explains the reasons why Ireland needs to be allowed self-rule. He also offers data about the large number of American immigrants who have left Ireland, having a negative impact on Ireland.
