  <dc:title>Letter from William Ridgeway, Flendyshe, Fen Ditton, Cambridge, to [Joseph] Larmor</dc:title>
  <dc:description>He has meant to write to Larmor, but work and rowing have interfered. He thinks that Larmor should have gone to the Irish Convention, as a holiday at the expense of the British taxpayer. He notes assaults on the police and their baton charges, with a Cork paper's account of attacks on 'American bluejackets' [sailors] by Sinn Feiners. He refers to the 'suicide' of [Thomas Patrick] Ashe and the impetus to Sinn Fein. Ridgeway discusses weather in England and Ireland, and war matters, including air raids making people move out of London.</dc:description>
