Letter from Cahir Healy, Royal Bank, Naas, to Éamon Donnelly. Dated 21 March 1939. Healy is glad Donnelly has decided to come to London (see NMM:2011.29.1.37) and expresses views on the Dublin Executive and their position on Partition: "I am sure Dublin only wants an excuse to let Partition die as an issue. They will have it for window dressing on special occasions, after the manner of the Irish Party & Home Rule. I am trying to get a group of well known Northern people to come together & "Jog" them up. We want an National non-party Council for all Ireland." Healy also refers to the "Cooneen Ghost", to be broadcast on the BBC, for which he supplied the story and N.C. Hunter the drama.
