This file only
61-7606 is the FBI’s old main file on the Irish Republican Army. 61 is the classification (treason / internal security in that era). 7606 is the case number. When the paper got too thick they bound it into sections. Joshua Smith’s 2015 release is seven PDFs covering sections 1–32, from 1939 into the early 1990s. A serial is one document inside a section (a letter, teletype, or clipping). The file list follows those PDFs, not the serial numbers.
The 2015 drop includes a second PDF with an embedded text layer for some parts (_text). Same pages as the scan; that copy is omitted from the file list. Word-level OCR differs and search may still hit both.

He is quoted: "It portends a fight, although I don't kmow how many:
days it will be before the outbreak. I have no authority to say'so,
Ireland. You will recall that the Easter Week uprising of l9i6 began
1 on a Monday, but it was not till Wednesday that the American newspapers
got word of it. That nay be the situation today: We have no desire
for Civil War in Ireland. We are not fighting DeVALERA or DeVALERA'S
