Letter from William O'Brien to Eamon De Valera,
1923 March 21.
| In Collection: | Correspondence of William O'Brien,1892-1927 |
|---|---|
| Description: | O'Brien responds to De Valera's letter of the 16th March (MS 50,544/23), saying he is interested to hear De Valera's opinion on the points mentioned, although it is too late to change anything for the first edition. He goes on to discuss De Valera's views in more detail, and says that he does not think the general public understands the reasons for his (De Valera's) opposition to the Treaty. He gives his thoughts on what would be required to bring about a reconciliation. At the end of the letter is a note in a different hand which reads '[Letter in Mrs. O'Brien's handwriting. Casey is the printer of the book]'. |
