Description

Typescript letter from Se�n T.� Ceallaigh of the D�l�gation du Gouvernement Elu de la R�publique Irlandaise, Grand H�tel, Paris (France), to Hagan. Two of Hagan's friends visited at an opportune time; expressing sorrow over O'Riordan's relapse. Regarding an article Hagan has read, stating that the Temps did not want to touch the subject for a long time and that they were swayed by the influence of their people in America; the feeling of bitterness towards England also helped considerably. Hoping to use the same arguments in Italy. He will write to (DeValera) reinforcing Hagan's arguments � 'across the Atlantic is the only place from which we can hope to bring influence to bear on the clerical end'. Expressing satisfaction over 'Msg. C' [Cerretti] having got a good impression from his interview with him. Treguiz's book's second edition will appear before Christmas; 'he has proved a most useful guide and friend to us here'. � Ceallaigh's wife arrived after many attempts to obtain a passport.
