Handwritten letter to +McQuaid from J.P. Walshe, Ambasciata D’Irlanda, Roma. Delighted the Archbishop has settled the Transport strike. The war situation seems to be growing worse. Wonders if the necessary approaches to the Americans will be made before it is too late. The British and Americans will think first of their own preservation and they won’t Hesitate for a moment before taking possession of Ireland. Ireland will be absolutely essential as a jumping off ground for the Americans.
