Handwritten letter to Walsh from Rex S. Chambers (W. and R. Chambers Publishers), 11 Thistle Street, Edinburgh, requesting that he might make enquiries as to the whereabouts of his son, 2nd Lieutenant A. S. Chambers (Lothian and Border Yeomanry, Royal Armoured Corps), who went missing in Normandy ‘on or about the night of June 11/12’. He believes that because ‘Eire is a neutral country… there may be ways and means of obtaining information about him which I cannot get here’.

Letter to Walsh from Patrick Rooney (circulation manager), The Bell, 43 Parkgate Street, Dublin, acknowledging receipt of two cheques for £7 4 shillings and £1 16 shillings. Their office had just opened that week. Attached is a receipt for twelve months’ subscription (12 shillings).

Letter to Walsh from Mary Rhodes, 914 Loring Avenue, Pacific Beach, California, informing him that her husband Gene [Eugene Manlove Rhodes] has died. He had enjoyed Walsh’s letter and the copy of The Road to Nowhere. He ‘had planned to write a Road to Nowhere long ago’. Before his death, Rhodes had got his wife to wrap up a copy of one of his books, which was to be sent to Walsh.

Letter to Walsh from Harrison Leussler, Houghton Mifflin Company, 500 Howard Street, San Francisco, California. Refers to the death of [Eugene Manlove] Rhodes on 27 June. Rhodes ‘never kept notes while planning out a story’ and so did not leave any manuscript ‘for future publication’. He had been working on a book entitled ‘Old Timers’. It is hoped that his widow will write a biography based partly on that work. Leussler wishes to collect as many letters he wrote as possible for use in the biography and requests that Walsh would send them to Mary Rhodes who will later return them.
