Quote from George Washington, transcribed by Pat McCarthy, Hut No 14, Tintown No 3 Camp:
'It is too probable that no plans we propose will be adopted. Perhaps another dreadful conflict is to be sustained. If, to please the people we offer, what we ourselves disapprover, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the event is in the hand of God.'
Verse by T. P. Duke transcribed by Tomás Ó Dúigh (Clare), Rath Camp:
