Scope and content
"Typescript letter with handwritten postscript and signed by Erna [Bennett], Anguillara Sabazia (Rome), to George [Gilmore], and fragment handwritten reply from Gilmore. Erna's academic work; her opinion about Collins - 'no great politician' but with wise political and economical insights into imperialism; indignation about those seeing foreign capital in Ireland as the threat that it is; the economical imperialism in disguise that they are suffering; need for neutrality as a pre-condition for Irish sovereignty and independence. - Reply agreeing with remarks on Collins - Peadar [O'Donnell] is right to see him 'trapped and destroyed by his own I.R.B. secret society mentality'. Mentioning John Mitchel, 'tragically mixed up good man'. Encouraging her research work. Praising new powerful trades unions taking a stand. (Also containing some notes on English trade unions; possibly part of the letter.)"
