PARLIAMENT MANSIONS,
ORCHARD STREET,
WESTMINSTER. S.W. Temporary address Walton House Longford St Regents Park N.W May 31.16 Chief Secretary Irish Office Sir, I consider it my
duty to notify you of
the following, con-
veyed a letter to a
friend of mine, (a
member of the United
Service Club) by his
cousin in Dublin. This gentleman writes
1) that another outbreak
of the Sinn Fein is expected at Whitsun,
2) that the rebels have
no shortage of
hidden arms and
3) that the Rebellion
is temporarily scotched
but smouldering still.
In the opinion of these gentlemen the
Army Act should
be re-enforced. Doubtless you
have many reports
but, the recent
rebellion does not
lead one to think
that warnings are
paid any heed to. I have taken
the precaution of
posting a similar
letter to a member
of the cabinet. Yours faithfully
M. Kennedy
