Typed letter to Fr. MacMahon from Timothy Connolly. He has just heard from Douglas Hyde who had not seen the distortion in the Irish Democrat. Hyde will refer to it in his column in the Catholic Herald. The Irish Democrat dropped the section of his paragraph which linked the Connolly Association with the Communist Party.
