1p., 4to. In good condition, lightly aged, with punch holes at margin. MacEntee begins his letter to Hickey: 'In the tribute which "The Statist" pays to the late Hilaire Belloc a reference is made to his essay on usury. I read this some time ago but cannot recall the title of the volume in which it appeared. I should be grateful, indeed, if you would be kind enough to make good the lacuna by supplying the missing title.' He congratulates Hickey 'on the article itself'. In MacEntee's opinion 'it was quite the best and most balanced of all those that I have read and I do not except the more voluminous and supercilious Eton and what-not articles in "The Tablet"'. He hopes that Hickey will holiday in Ireland that year, and 'will not forget to call'. At the head of the page is an ANS 'To C. B.' from 'Tom Hickey': 'As this letter from Sean MacEntee, then Irish Minister for Finance, was prompted by your article on Hilaire Belloc, which the Minister so enthusiastically praises, I think it only fair to pass it on to you'. Note: "Following his education MacEntee worked as an engineer in Dundalk, County Louth, and was involved in the establishment of a local corps of the Irish Volunteers in the town. He mobilised in Dundalk and fought in the General Post Office Garrison in the Easter Rising in 1916. He was sentenced to death for his part in the rising. This sentence was later commuted to life imprisonment. MacEntee was released in the general amnesty in 1917, and was later elected a member of the National Executives of both Sinn Féin and the Irish Volunteers in October 1917. MacEntee was later elected Sinn Féin Member of Parliament (MP) for Monaghan South at the 1918 general election.".

unbound. 2.25 x 4.5 inches, no place, dated March 27, 1933, with the addition of a sentiment written in Gaelic (not translated). Fine condition. Irish radical politician who served in the governments of Eamon de Valera and Sean Lemass in a range of ministerial positions. During the 1916 uprising, he mobilized at Dundalk and fought in the General Post Office Garrison. This action earned him a sentence of death, later commuted to life in prison and soon after, released in the General Amnesty. In 1921 he voted against the Anglo-Irish Treaty and commanded the IRA unit in Marlboro Street Post Office in Dublin. These actions also caused him to be arrested and jailed until 1924.
