BILL McCORMACK,

Sir, - Jack Moylett (March 21st) raises more issues about Roger Casement than can be easily dealt with in a swift reply. As he appears to feel excluded from aspects of the debate, I here and now publicly invite him to contribute formally to the Third London Colloquium, taking place from April 19th to 21st at the address given below.

The session devoted to forensics and linguistic analysis is timetabled for Sunday morning. Other participants will include Kevin Mannerings (as doughty a proponent of the forgery view as one can find), Prof James Horan of New York (to whom Mr Moylett respectfully refers), and Dr Audrey Giles.

I trust that Mr Moylett will keep Irish Times readers informed of his response to this invitation. - Yours, etc.,
