Copy letter to the editor [of The Kerryman newspaper] from Maurice Walsh, ‘Ard-na-Glaise’, Stillorgan Park, county Dublin, enclosing copy of an untitled poem by his late father Maurice. States that the first three verses of it were published in While Rivers Run as part of ‘Paddy Joe’s musings’. Now would like it published on the first anniversary of his father’s death. Adds that his father had ‘no real villain in any of his novels and in this poem he shows his kindliness to all men and even the devil has his points’.
