Walsh, Maurice (1879-1964), writerLetter 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.
