Positive Proof of Hyde's AuthorshipManuscript: Hyde (Dr. Douglas) 'An Craoibhín' A short ALs. to Lady Gregory, 4 pp (single folded sheet), in pencil, from Ratra, July 14 1918. 'I met Yeats in Dublin, & he gave me your kind message ... I came home at the end of June, but am not much better, I cannot fish or boat or bicycle, and when the grouse come in I fear I won't be able to shoot! .. I enclose a poem which may amuse you. I wrote it in a white heat when Lloyd George made his conscription speech.'The poem is the well-known 'Almost any O or MAC to Almost any Englishman, with Almost any Englishman's Answer', a most effective polemic, which we believe was not ascribed to Hyde when first published. It is here printed on one side of a folio sheet, inscribed in manuscript 'July 1918. An Craoibhín do scríobh agus é tinn ar a leabaidh' ['Douglas Hyde wrote this on his sick-bed']. Very rare, probably printed for Hyde.'On reading Christopher Benson's "Hymn for Empire Day". 'Lord of our fathers, for we too / As well as Benson, have our God, / Call off from us his callous crew / And break in two his ruthless rod / And numb we pray the unpitying hand / Which tortured us so many a year, / And make his nation understand / There is a God above to fear ..'With related stamped envelope, addressed in Hyde's hand to 'Lady Gregory, Teach na Cúlach, Gort, Co. Galway, inscribed in Lady Gregory's hand, '1918 (The War)'. (1)Provenance: From the collection of Mrs. Catherine Kennedy, 'Nu' the grand-daughter of Lady Gregory. Her father Robert, was the subject of W.B. Yeats's poem, "An Irish Airman Forsees His Death."
