Advocacy chain letter. Sinn Fein. "They have
sold for silver the flesh and blood of their people." Ireland, 1920.
["The following document has been
sent out to a number of Sinn Feiners with instructions to copy it four times
and send it to four friends, who are to repeat the operation indefinitely."]
They have sold for silver the flesh and blood of their
people.
For money their hands are dipped in the blood of their people.
What of the people? Shall they grasp the hand of Cain?
They are the eyes and ears of the enemy.
Let these eyes and ears know no friendship.
See that there there are none who shall associate with them. See you that
those who do are treated likewise.
The blood of our martyrs shall be on them and on their children's children,
and they shall curse the mothers that bring them forth.
And the Lord set a mark upon Cain.
