Typed letter to + McQuaid from Seamus O’Kelly informing him of Greaves’ letter. Says this Communist organisation is attempting to use the names of Irish patriots to make contact with Irish people in England, and by this method draw them into the Communist net. He has written to Greaves turning down co-operation and will do his best to expose attempts by Communists to use names of Irish patriots for propaganda.

Typed letter to Seamus O’Kelly, Coolock, from C. Desmond Greaves, Editor, Irish Democrat, London. Greaves is writing a short pamphlet on the ‘Life of Liam Mellows’ and concludes that he formed his socialist views in Mountjoy. As O’Kelly is writing the definitive biography of Mellows from a nationalist point of view it was suggested to Greaves by Eamon Martin that he contact him. Asks if O’Kelly would read over his manuscript.
