To the Speaker of the Provisional 'Parliament' of Southern Ireland
Sirs, 
The illegal body over which you preside has declared war on the soldiers of the Republic and suppressed the legitimate Parliament of this Irish Nation. As your 'Parliament' and Army Headquarters well know we on our side have at all times adhered to the recognised rules of warfare. In the early days of this war, we took hundreds of your forces prisoners, but accredited to them all the rights of Prisoners-of-War and, over and above, treated them as fellow countrymen and former comrades. But the prisoners you have taken you have treated barbarously, and when helpless have tortured, wounded and murdered them.
