Handwritten letter to + McQuaid from Fr. Denis McGrath. Refers to a meeting in newspaper cutting regarding the formation of the Irish – Soviet Society in Dublin. The meeting took place in Hynes Restaurant, Dame Street. The proprietor is Mr. Hess, a Swiss convert. A sergeant in the Guards gave him a flier announcing the meeting. He visited Mr. Hess and asked him not to allow the meeting to take place as it was a Communist meeting. He agreed but the group ignored his protests and carried on. He will not allow them use his restaurant again.
