Satirical dystopia. The first letter describes the general lack of welcome that the Governor received, except from Sinn Fein, which had supported the German invasion and now expected to be rewarded. On the principle \"once a traitor, always a traitor\" all Sinn Fein members and their families are immediately shipped to Germany and given small holdings or enrolled in the German Army. To clear the slums, all the patients in a large mental hospital are gassed and cremated, the slum dwellers moved into the hospital, and the slums torn down. The second letter includes such reforms as requiring all the Irish to rise early.
