Description

Holograph letter from M.J. Curran, 211 (North Circular Road), (Dublin), to Hagan. Stating that Joe Seaver had a sudden death. Concerning the vice-rectorship, stating his feeling that it is all providential; he accepts a payment from (Archbishop Walsh) for the canonisation work. Stating that he outlined his recommendations for the plan of building a new archives. Listing other candidates for the vice-rectorship and others who will not apply- Toher would not do at all-; resting assured that it will be in Walsh's hands; MacCaffrey had asked him previously if he would go to Rome but at the time he intended to stay with the archbishop. On current affairs, briefly stating that nobody 'takes the least interest in the latest Home Rule humbug' while 'keen interest is taken in (Sinn Fein) circles in the Municipal elections (and) the intricacies of Proportional representation'; their candidates are 'not too impressive'. Thinking that Faire had more sense than to get involved with Miss Agnes O'Farrell's 'absurd candidature committee'.
