GURNEY BUD: (1906-1982) American Aviator and friend of Charles Lindbergh. Gurney is the only other pilot to have flown The Spirit of St. Louis. An interesting T.L.S., Bud Gurney, one page, 4to, n.p., 24th May 1977, to Alden. Gurney thanks his correspondent for an article that they had written for News Week, remarking ‘It was factual and to the point. Not at all like some things I have read’ and also writing ‘Now, one of the major T.V. circuits is advertising a re-hash of the Hauptmann trial. They will do anything for a dollar! I don’t see how Anne [Morrow Lindbergh, the pilot’s wife] can take much more of the torture she has had to bear’, further adding ‘The St. Louis Lindbergh Anniversary was surely the greatest in this country. There were about 1200 seats at the black tie banquet and perhaps a half million on the water-front to witness the afternoon air show and night acrobatics and fireworks. The afternoon parade was several miles long and required more than two hours to pass. I don’t think any other city came close to St. Louis. The Spirit of St. Louis really came through!’ and recounting a joke told by Lowell Thomas in Chicago. Gurney concludes ‘Fifty years from now there will be another anniversary of Lindbergh’s flight but I doubt very much if my telephone will be ringing as it has of late’. A letter of good content written in the year of the 50th Anniversary of Lindbergh’s historic flight.

'My Spirit is the Same' O'MALLEY (Ernie), Republican. A remarkable ALS, 2 pp (single sheet), from Kilmainham Prison, 26/11/1923, to 'Dear K' (evidently a Republican comrade), asking for books to be sent to him, 'Here I am again on the flat of my back as the [hunger] strike terminated on 23/11. I believe I will never be strong again, and may pull round somewhat in time, but what's the odds. My spirit is the same whatever about the body, and after all that's the main thing. My sight is bad and I nearly kicked it several times but I had not the luck to die.' He expects he will not be released before Easter, and in the meantime he needs reading material, particularly literature and art books. He gives a long list of writers and painters, starting with Shakespeare and Botticelli, and says he can send £5, and perhaps 'some of the enthusiasts out there' may do something for him. 'I have work to do for Ireland yet, and can be educating myself as best I can with what books I can lay my hands on'. He says 'Frank [Aiken] is still at the helm, and thank God for that. He understands the Northern question and will pay due attention to it & help to represent better Ireland unpartitioned. He is to my mind the best man by far that we have & I expect great things from him.' He wishes 'K' success with his or her mission, which apparently is in America. 'I will pray for you and for your success and will offer up Communion for you; unfortunately I get it only once a week. It was a terrible trial to be so long without it .. Ever your friend, Ernie.' Ernie O'Malley was very seriously wounded in November 1922, while resisting capture in a Dublin 'safe house'. At that time he was assistant chief of staff of the anti-Treaty IRA. He spent five months in a prison hospital, and then went on a forty-day hunger strike. He was released on medical advice in 1924. He partly recovered his health, and went to Spain and the United States, where he wrote the classic, 'On Another Man's Wound'. A fine revealing letter, which well captures the man, his spirit and his courage. Letters from O'Malley are very uncommon. (1)

The Very Rare 1939 Irish Proclamation Hayes (Stephen), Russell (Sean), & others. The Proclamation of the Irish Republic, On the Twenty-Third Day of April in the year 1916 in the City of Dublin, seven men who were representative in spirit and outlook and purpose of the Irish Nation that had never yielded to nor accepted the British conquest, set their humble and almost unknown names to the foregoing document that has passed into history, making the names of the seven signatories immortal. Three years later (on January 21st 1919), the Republic Proclaimed in Ester Week 1916 was ratified and formally established by the elected representatives of all Ireland and a solemn declaration of Independence sent out to the Nations of the World. To combat that declaration and to prevent the Proclamation of the Republic of Ireland from becoming effective, the armed forces of the English enemy made war upon the People of this Country. They were met by the Irish Republican Army, and challenged and resisted so stubbornly that after two years of bloody warfare the English were forced to ask for a truce with a view to settlement by negotiation. The Armed Forces of England still occupy six of our Counties. Ireland is still tied, as she has been for centuries past. But the Proclamation of Easter Week and the Declaration of Independence stand and must stand forever. There is no need to re-affirm the Declaration of Irish Independence, but the hour has come for the supreme effort to make both effective. We pledge ourselves to that task. We call upon England to withdraw her armed forces, her civilian officials and institutions, and representatives of all kinds from every part of Ireland, as an essential preliminary to arrangements for peace and friendship between the two countries; and we call upon the people of all Ireland, at home and in exile, to assist us in the effort we are about to make in God's name, to compel that evacuation and to enthrone the Republic of Ireland. Signed on behalf of The Republican Government and the Army Council of Oglaigh na hEireann (Irish Republican Army) Stephen Hayes, Patrick Fleming, Peadar O'Flaherty, George Plunkett, Lawrence Rogan, Sean Russell. Printed one side only on the right side, alongside of a copy of the 1916 Proclamation, with the general title over both the tops "The Proclamation of the Irish Republic," approx. 37.5cms x 48.5cms, both top corners with small piece torn away, and a few fold creases, otherwise in v. good condition.
