6pp., 4to, good condition, IN IRISH, translation as follows: "(On top) Write to me soon! ||Deirdre, my dear friend – I was delighted to receive your letter. Thank you very much. Forgive me for not writing much earlier: we are all greatly upset here over the deaths of Arthur Griffith and Michael Collins – isn’t it terrible news! I cannot believe it is true – I don’t know what the country will do without them. It disgusts me to think of Michael Collinsand the way they killed him like a dog; a curse on them, may they choke, the dirty villains! He was a fine man; I saw the account your brother Roibeárd [Robert Lynd] wrote about him in the Daily News – did you see it? I feel proud that Richard Mulcahy will be taking his place; I think he is a good man: do you know him? But look, I get very angry when I think about it – I hope the other side is satisfied now. Do you know there is an Irish woman here and she is strongly on the side of De Valera; I don’t have to tell you she has not set a foot on the land of Ireland since she was a small girl and I suppose she is afraid that she will not be ‘Irish enough’ if she is on the side of the Free State – she’s another Erskine Childers, my dear. She told Máire O’Keefe that Harry Boland had been murdered – she heard it from some priest: did you hear anything about that? ‘And isn’t it a terrible thing that they didn’t have an inquest’. ‘Terrible altogether,’ said Máire’ ‘it’s strange that his own people did not ask for one. Cathal Brugha had one’. I was sorry about the death of Harry Boland all the same, he was a nice boy. But did you hear that they murdered him? I think it is only a rumour. About Paris I am sad to say and it grieves my heart to tell you that I don’t think that I will be able to come. I am in a rage about it, but what can I do? I have no money saved or anything; apart from this I would be able to come, and I would love it. Oh, why can’t I? Alas! It makes me angry! And to think that you and Lucie will be there without me. I would like to kill myself when I think of it. But listen I have a strong intention if I can to save some money; I would like to come home for a short while to Dublin anyway – maybe in the Autumn. You see, I could stay in London for a short while and sell pictures there, and then put in three weeks or so in Dublin. Wouldn’t this be nice ? I am working at present on a couple of book covers for Hodder and Stoughton and I hope to get more work from them – they give good money although I do not like the work much. But one must live! By the way . The Swiss who are a lot of contemptibles. I don’t think much of them – they are *** (unclear word), stupid, mean, frigid, misunderstanding [used by him as an adjective here], fat etc., etc., etc.! Of course I’d like a change if possible. But I must wait. There are many Irish here and we drink tea together nearly every day and we are continually talking of Ireland. We’re all Free-Staters .[He finishes with] Sunday: Dublin Monday: Sevilla Wednesday: Howth Thursday: Taormina (?) ETC. ETC". Maire Gaster has written a note on the original envelope identifying the recipient and revealing Mac Liamoir's passion for her.…
