Extract from a letter from Michael Collins to Eamon de Valera
London, 12 October 1921
Dear Dev,
E.[rskine] C.[hilders], will have notified you about things yesterday - I never felt so relieved at the end of any day, and I need hardly say I am not looking forward with any pleasure to resumptions - such a crowd I never met.
[138 words deleted covering relations with Irish-America]
M.[ichael Collins]
Separate letter goes with this re USA matters. Good luck. This place [the] bloody limit. I wish to God I were back home.1
