The Big Fellow Covering His Tracks
Collins (Michael) A very interesting and important TLS dated 6.10.1921 to Mr. Martin Conlon, 1 pp, asking him to go to the National Land Bank in the next few days and ask to see Michael Cowley, and to sign his name in the signature book with an address 'which will find you but should not be your own', and mentioning three accounts 'in which you are connected', including a deposit account of £1000 in joint names, and a deposit account and a current account both for £300, both in Conlon's name.
'This £300 Current Account is meant to be available for the Secretary in my absence ... What I suggest is that you see him directly he returns, and ask him how much he wants. Any amount required in addition you can make available to him out of the £300 deposit. I am going to send you this Deposit Receipt. I'll tell you verbally where the others are.' With a good signature, 'Mícheál', with two under strokes, and with details of the deposit receipt in manuscript.
*Collins' absence was due to the Treaty negotiations, which began in London on 11 October 1921 - five days after date of this letter. As Minister for Finance Collins handled very large sums from the Dail loan and other sources, and despite their best efforts the British were
never able to cut off his funds. The careful arrangements outlined in this letter give us some idea of the reasons for his success. (1)
