Scope and Content: Letter stating de Roiste’s regret that reports of Fawsitt’s reinstatement in the civil service are inaccurate. States he rarely now sees T.P.D. (Thomas Patrick Dowdall) and J.C.D. (James Charles Dowdall) as they now have new friends since their change of political opinions. He encourages Fawsitt to write to Thomas and James Dowdall. Believes Andrew O’Shaughnessy is also a supporter of the new regime, i.e. Fianna Fail but is less sure about Alfred O’Rahilly’s support. De Roiste recommends a number of Fianna Fail politicians who may be able to assist Fawsitt in his efforts for reinstatement in the civil service including Ned Sheehan and Liam Shorten.
