Letter from Eileen G Greene, Clontarf, Dublin, to the Taoiseach, Eamon de Valera, 18 January 1939, regarding IRA activities in England. 'I would like to respectfully suggest that we in Southern Ireland should ask the signatories to that IRA Proclamation on Sunday - or rather should appeal to them - to use all their influences against the bomb activity in the North and Britain. It will not help towards a solution of Partition and will ruin the prestige of the New Ireland into which the North is invited in spirit as it is in fact'. She describes the IRA membership as including 'uneducated irresponsible' individuals. She also refers to Ireland's neutral status.

Letter to Eamon de Valera from Mrs E V Govan, Ontario, Canada, 27 July 1939, condemning the recent IRA bombings in England. She refers in particular to the case of a young man from Edinburgh. 'The blowing-off of the legs of the young lecturer in Latin at Edinburgh University, when he was enquiring about his luggage at King's Cross Station, on his return from his honeymoon, is a frightful atrocity'. She refers to her Irish background. 'My parents met in a Church in Ireland and my sister was born there. My father, a fine tenor singer, took delight in singing Irish songs ... Irish people were welcomed into our home, especially strangers in trouble or difficulties, such as shortage of cash'. She places the blame for the bombings with Eamon de Valera. 'I was never in your Ireland and now I never wish to be. Ireland would be better sunk to the bottom of the ocean, than that one unfortunate human being should meet death at your hands. You are responsible. All the crimes those fanatics are committing are done, because of the things that you have said and done against Britain.
