The letter forms part of the overall submission made by Fermanagh County Council to the Irish Boundary Commission. It argues the case for Newtownbutler remaining in Northern Ireland: 'I am convinced that the majority of inhabitants of this area from their personal testimony to me, of all denominations, would prefer to remain in Northern Ireland.'
