Letter from Terence MacSwiney (Toirdhealbhach Mac Suibhne) to Diarmuid [Ó Murchadha]. The letter encloses a printed notice from John Beresford, 5th Baron Decies, Chief Press Censor for Ireland, asking newspaper editors to refrain from publishing a statement issued by the members of a Cork club of Sinn Féin re an attack on the club by Royal Irish Constabulary (5 December 1917).

The article describes a confrontation with the British military during the aeridhacht. It reads ‘during the singing and performances not only were many police present but five aeroplanes appeared and for over an hour circled over the meeting, descending to the closest possible proximity to the crowd and drowning by their din the children’s music, and that flame rockets were dropped from the planes close to the crowd, one of which set light to a thatched roof …’. The article is signed ‘W.F.P.S.’ This is probably William Frederick Paul Stockley, a Sinn Féin politician. The article concludes by declaring that ‘We are not completely emancipated from party politicians and capitalist’ newspapers. And the Irish nation of the future will never be Imperialist’.
