Description

Holograph letter from Art O Muireadaigh (A.J. Murray) Castlemorris, Ballymullen, Tralee (County Kerry), to Hagan. Explaining his previous request for a letter of reference. Describing his state of mind before leaving for Toronto later this month – 'exile – for life, and death- must be part and parcel of the sacrifice God demands of me'. Concerning the Anglo-Irish agreement he presumes he shares Hagan's views: if the negotiators departed from the national demand - invoking Pearse - they made 'the greatest blunder in world history'. 'Shall we see the day that DeValera Collins and Griffith are to be repudiated?'
