What's the Matter with Ireland?

Dear Miss Russell:
I have read the advance copy of your book, What's the Matter with Ireland? , with much interest.
I congratulate you on the rapidity with which you succeeded in understanding Irish conditions and grasped the Irish viewpoint.
I hope your book will be widely read. Your first chapter will be instructive to those who have been deceived by the recent cry of Irish prosperity. Cries of this sort are echoed without thought as to their truth, and gain credence as they pass from mouth to mouth. I hope we shall have many more impartial investigators, such as you, who will take the trouble to see things for themselves first hand, and who will not be imposed upon by half-truths.
Having visited Ireland, I feel you cannot doubt that the poet was right—
