Rice, Thomas Spring, 1st Baron Monteagle of BrandonLetter to Walsh from Joseph Connolly (censor) Office of the Censor, Dublin, relating to Walsh’s article ‘Ireland in a Warring Europe’ which he intended to publish in the Saturday Evening Post. Refers to Walsh’s letter of 6 November 1939 in which he stated that he would not publish the version which had resulted from Connolly’s amendments of it. Connolly indicates that the changes made are those rendered essential by the military authorities, such as references to troop numbers and areas of coastline. He regrets Walsh’s decision and believes that the article would be ‘a very valuable one in this country’s interest’ if published.
