Description: | In the letter from Erskine Childers to Alice Stopford Green he thanks Alice for her kindness to his wife, Molly Childers. He also writes about the "petty imbecility" of the pro-German plot among Irish nationalists. He writes about being hopeful at the time about the Irish Volunteers representing "the most vigorous and unsullied nationalism in Ireland", but he writes about how there is a financial mess due to proper financial records not being kept. Childers relates that he was distressed to see MacNeill floundering so badly. Childers also writes about the difficulty in raising a completely Irish formation for participation in the War when there were already existing Irish regiments. He relates that he had high hopes for the Irish Volunteers "as a purely Irish force, or as nearly so as possible run on Irish resources and by Irish brains." He states that in order to use Irish formations in Europe, Britain would have to grant Ireland Home Rule and trust Ireland completely. Also wrote about the German plot. The note by Molly Childers relates to Erskine Childers escorting Molly's mother to America and returning to hear Lloyd George introduced the Amendment which partitioned Ireland. |
