Don't know how or why he has ended up in Ealing. Yr notes are/will be helpful. Did I tell you that my old friend Denis Ireland died (in Belfast) a week ago ? He celebrated his 80th birthday not long ago and he lived to read and approve my defence of his book against Simmons' attack - his last letter to me thanked me for x defending it- The IRISH TIMES gave him a long obit,with photos, and a 3rd leaderer. Don't know if he made it into THE TIMES. As a Protestant Nationalist, Denis swam against the stream in N.I. ever since he was demobbed (as Captain in Royal Irish Fusiliers,"the Skins") at the end of World War I. x H.U. have taken another Fox - the Chinese one. Love to you both - Robert x He was in the Senate (in Dublin) for a few years. In middle age, with his white hair, he looked a bit like SENATOR W.B. Yeats! Text Saturday, August 20, 2016 - 11:13
