Scope and ContentLetter from Denis Hurley, Carson City, Nevada to his brother John Hurley, Tawnies, Clonakilty, County Cork. He had hoped that events in Ireland would have settled down, 'too bad that some common sense and a desire for peace could not prevail. The Irish seem to have imbibed that French frenzy in Paris in the 70's. He is in the same position and would have had the opportunity to 'study law and practice speaking' if he had the job 40 of 50 years ago. Notes the Turks 'living up to their old barbarities'. Regrets that '. . .Michael Collins' young life should be extinguished in a petty ambush. He seemed to be more of a general favourite with the Press. . .and his career more romantic than any of the other leaders'.
