Scope and content

Letter to Father Hayes from John Curran, a native of Cahersiveen, County Kerry, writing from Fairview, Dublin. Curran writes that he was organiser and chairman of the local branch of the Labour Party there for the last 30 years until he was compelled to find work in Dublin to support his family, and lodges complaints against the ignoring of South Kerry's development by the government. He wishes to start a branch of Muintir na Tíre in South Kerry and to compel the government to begin mineral extraction there. He closes by warning 'that there is the most deadly and poisonous type of Communism rampant in this City in the line of imorality[sic] and prostitution, and God help any young Country Girl who come into this dirty rotten filthy City who have not got any friends to go to or help them they are doomed'.
