Description
Holograph letter from S.T.(Ó Ceallaigh), 91 St. Stephen's Green (Dublin), to Hagan, expressing a wish to 'commune with you a while' despite lack of major news. The Cosgrave government shows all signs of weariness but will have to be 'literally kicked out'; dismissing rumours they would relinquish their posts by themselves. The government delegation in the States cannot have had much success; comments on the treatment in the Irish World, and the interesting article by a certain Rice who is nominally on the Cohalan side of affairs and will have some influence with them. D.[eValera] is waiting for their share of the republican loan. Then discussing the situation of the lady Hagan had sent the letter to; she incurred the enmity of some of the Veritas folk but has met (the Archbishop of) Armagh twice: hoping Hagan could talk to the New York ordinary before he leaves, telling him of conditions in Ireland and the need for a project such as hers. Some comments on mutual friends. Surmising Hagan will not come for his honorary degree; wondering what D.(eValera) will do to avoid conferring a degree on Cosgrave; Rene [Bagin] is not coming anyhow. Wondering whether Mr. Bewley's illness preventing him from visiting the Pope was 'diplomatic'. Other small points; visitors returning from Rome. Adding that there is nothing further on the project to remove D.(eValera) from the chancellorship; the latter's son Vivian attained a scholarship to great acclaim. Also adding that a recent encounter with Dr. Hackett surprised him in its friendly tone.
