CXVI
Roy Barrance to Clemency Power
Dear Miss Power,—I hope you won’t think it awful cheek of me to write to you but you were saying the other day that you wondered if it was necessary to get a passport to go to Ireland now. I thought you would like to know that it isn’t. I inquired about it at Cook’s. But I hope you are not going home just yet, for I am sure my aunt can’t spare you. I wish all the same that when you do go I could be there, for Ireland is one of the places I have always wanted to see, and I have always felt that the only decent thing to do is to give them Home Rule and have done with it. A fellow I know in the Air Force who came from Kerry says it is ripping.—I am, yours sincerely,
Roy Barrance
P.S.—If you are going to Ireland and would send me a wire I would meet you and help you through London.
P.S. 2.—The evening papers are full of more Irish outrages. I don’t think you ought to travel alone.
