Handwritten copy letter [in Gilmore's hand], The Slads, Howth, Co. Dublin, to Miss Kilmurray [ ], expressing himself happy to come and talk to 'the people of Derry interested in the Labour side of the Republican movement as represented by the Republican Congress'. Peadar O'Donnell, though even older than himself, is also ready to come - Gilmore's grandfather was an Orangeman in Portadown and his take on things differs from O'Donnell's. Relating his first political 'action' - juxtaposing two recruiting posters of 1914 he played on the two opposed sides of religious sensitivities, thereby making nonsense of them. Sending her some pamphlets including Labour and the Republican movement 'explaining the Griffith versus Connolly difference that was the root of the matter all the time since'. Giving her contacts in Belfast.
