(36 unused)

37. Feedback relating to the Nemesis of Economic Nationalism.

38. Lemass letter of 1932; the Fine Gael leadership meeting of 1934; a Spring Rice poem from PC Duggan; a letter from one J Warren, a Unionist, undated, but probably reacting to his Seanad maiden speech in 1938. Box JJ4LH.

39. Paper written in 1937 and never published: The Place of Wheat in Irish Agriculture; JJ used the arguments of this repeatedly in the Seanad. It was clearly intended as an academic paper, so I reference it in that thread, and make it available in full.

40. Miscellaneous press cuttings relating to the economic war environment, 1937-37; raw material for JJ's then writings. There are also US-originating cuttings, relating to Roosevelt and the New Deal, and editorial comment on JJ's ideas.

41. JJ and Judge Wylie in 1941 on national emergency political economy; there is also an Irish Times poster for December 6 (1944?) which perhaps relates to an altercation between JJ and Aiken. A further cutting relates to the flag-burning incident in 1945. I have treated these in the 1940s political module. I also include here a letter to the Irish Times dated June 1 1950, in response to one from the US Ambassador, relating to Irish neutrality during the war, and the question of US bases. Box JJ4LH.

42. Correspondence with Dermot MacManus in 1965, relating to his Irish Literary Revival paper delivered at Harrogate, and his Killeaden paper on the Raftery background; also TR Henn.

43. JJ's press campaign during the Economic War. Includes US-originating stuff reviewing his book. I have also filed here JJ's 1939 passes for the Lords and the Commons, during his London visit in April of that year.

44. Sr John Ervine correspondence 1942 re Seanad; feedback re stove to heat glasshouses; George O'Brien re draft of '..Transition'; Knocklong co-op 1948. There is also a letter dated 27 May 1941 from 'Meta' (signed also Margaret O'Flaherty) to JJ as Senator, relating to the deportation of Stella Jackson, who has been living (in 'sin') with Ewart Milne in Meta's house, Kilmacavea, Leap, Co Cork. The police raided at 4.30 a.m. Meta gave some Stella Jackson background; she was the author of a pamphlet of the Fabian Society on Partition, and 'a person of some account'. Meta suspected that the deportation was on foot of her non-marital status, if so 'a contemptible reason'. She concludes 'tell Annie to come down and see me'. According to my sister Meta was a friend of our aunt Ann. Box JJ4LH.

(I can add some background to this letter: Stella Jackson was the daughter of Thomas A Jackson, author of 'Ireland Her Own', the first attempt since Connolly to publish a Marxist history of Ireland. TAJ was a British Communist Party stalwart. The deportation took place before Hitler attacked the USSR, and the Russo-German Pact still nominally held; in this situation the CBGB was anti-war. There may therefore be more to this episode than met the eye at the time. There is a note on the envelope by my sister, as follows: 'Meta (née Barrington) married Professor Carter, left him for Liam O'Flaherty'. JJ had written on the envelope 're Meta O'F'

I had some contact with Stella Jackson in the early 1960s, when in London, via the Connolly Association; it is a pity I was unaware of this episode at the time; I would certainly have explored it further had I known. RJ.)

45. Irish Association material, 40s and 50s. Includes 40s Bulletins (printed) and some 50s essays, including the printed prize essay by William Ward, and another one relating to the Isles-Cuthbert Report. Also the local press reports of the Kilkenny Debates, and the Mary McNeill History of the IA. I have included here also the 1948 Protestant school speech-day stuff (Drogheda and Dungannon), the signed 1951 Irish Association dinner menu, and the Charter of TCD verses by 'Rabach' which seem to relate to the 1948 'declaration of the republic' situation and the TCD response. Box JJ4LH.

46. Irish Association 1960s material, including the Estyn Evans paper, and JJ's 1963 proposal for a 'common market of these islands', and correspondence relating to it. There is correspondence with Irene Calvert, and a positive assessment of the incoming President Martin Wallace by Sir Graham Larmour, with an attached article by him attacking the Orange Order. Box JJ4LH.

47. Plunkett House Library stuff, including Irish Statesman material. Box JJ4LH.

48. Seanad Election addresses; correspondence with James Douglas in 1950 relating to JJ's standing down as TCD Senator; his 1939 'speech book'. Also Dev's 1951 nomination telegram, and a letter from Dev thanking him for his book Irish Agriculture in Transition. Also a short press report of the 1959 Seanad election, when JJ stood but lost to Fearon. Box JJ4LH.

49. Some 50s correspondence; includes Bob Barton letter re hobby farming in Wicklow; also Tolstoy and Couris letters (the Collon Russian emigre group). There is also a letter from one F O'Hanlon, who it seems occupied a flat in Fitzwilliam Square near to JJ in 1918; he had read a report in Peace News of an address to the Church of Ireland Peace Fellowship. He enclosed an article of his in the paper 'Labour's West Sussex Voice', in which he had been critical of Labour policy on rearmament etc, and expressed empathy with JJ. I have also included here an account book which JJ kept, in a 'desk diary for 1933', accounts for a period in the 40s and 50s. This may throw light on the economics of his Grattan Lodge market gardening experiment. Also the Thekla Beere letter about the Naas rail-link, noted in the 50s Barrington or 'outreach' thread.

50. Material relating to the Dublin Universities merger debate inthe 60s; also the closure of the Albert College. I have reproduced and abstracted this in the 1960s political module.

51. Irish Press article series 'Freedom from Hunger', commencing April 19 1963. There is also a 'reply to professor Yudkin's paper at UCC on Sunday April 28, 1963' which covers similar ground; it was given by one C Murphy who may have been a JJ acolyte.

52. Contains misc correspondence to JJ in the 60s, including Sean T Kelly of the Multifarnham Agricultural College, Julian Mac Airt of the TCD Statistics Dept, and also re a primary school near Vicarstown. There is also a notebook covering some travelling JJ did in Mayo in the mid-60s, in which he recorded meeting some contacts given him by RJ.

53. Correspondence in the mid 60s relating to, and reviews of, 'Irish Economic Headaches', including a letter from MJ Costello, and T O'Leary of the Irish Houseowners Association, who had read a review. He sent a memorandum for consideration.

54. Early 60s papers and comments related to 'Why Ireland Needs the Common Market'. Includes an acknowledgement from BR Sen the DG of the UNFAO. There is also a paper 'The Common Market and the Communist Menace' which appeared in the Sunday Press on 23/12/1962. The 'communist menace' is in fact a label he uses for centralist bureaucratic price-fixing. In a separate folder is correspondence with Mercier Press the publisher, and in a further separate folder some records relating to the Nenagh anti-common market campaign; JJ was living in Nenagh with my sister at the time.

JJ archive 6 in Box JJ4.2

56. Peace movement letters, relating to Northern Ireland and to Vietnam, from Peadar O'Donnell, Moira Woods and Conor Farrington; the latter is a copy of a joint letter submitted to the press signed by notables; it is undated but relates to the situation post August 1969. One of the CF letters notes the appreciation on the part of Catholic victimes of the concern by Southern Protestants. There is a JJ membership card of the Irish Anti-Apartheid Movement dated 1971, and an Irish Democrat book-list. Box JJ4LH.

57. Letters and drafts from the mid-60s showing his continuing attempts to publish for a lay 'opinion-leading' readership; they include an attempt to get his 1937 'wheat' paper published through the Agricultural Institute, and a development of his comments on Attwood's related SSISI paper published in the Economist.

58. Late 60s letters and drafts relating to the Northern Ireland question, including a typescript embodying some of his Boundary Commission experience, to the effect that the Border, if drawn to minimise the number of unwilling citizens, should run from the northern tip of Monaghan to a point just east of the entrance to Lough Foyle. There is also a letter from Professor W McC Stewart of Bristol, with an enclosed copy of an article by him, supportive of the status of Magee College in Derry, critical of the Lockwood Report, and the situation in the Coleraine campus of the New University of Ulster, staffed mainly with English academics. He had hoped to meet JJ at the 1969 scholar's dinner in TCD, but there is a copy of a letter from his sister Anne indicating JJ's imminent hospitalisation for a hip replacement. Box JJ4LH.

59. A further letter from Attwood, dated 16/04/68, declining a submission by JJ to a planned conference inthe Montrose Hotel. This occurs with, and may be related to, a copy of a paper by Alfred Latham-Koenig on 'Intermediate Technolgies for Developing Countries', read at the Milan International Development Conference on June 7-10 1967.

60. Letter from the Taoiseach Sean Lemass dated 23/03/65 thanking JJ for his paper on the Berkeley Theory of Credit. He sent the same paper to de Valera, apparently after a meeting with him, and received an acknowledgement from him dated 03/10/66, in which Dev expressed the hope that it would revive interest in Berkeley's economic work, and that there would be a demand for the projected 'Querist' book. Box JJ4LH.

This was JJ's unpublished 'Consumer Demand as the Basis of Credit' monograph, which the then SSISI influentials (Geary, Whitaker et al) had declined as being too philosophical and not econometric enough. RJ December 2000.

61. Miscellaneous draft letters from his last few years, some unpublished, mostly published, in which case they were kept by my mother in her scrap-book (see 75 below), and where they exist loose I have transferred them to this folder. There is also a response, dated 20/06/66, from John Carroll, then Chief Industrial Officer of the Irish Transport and General Workers' Union, later President of the union, with some critical comments on a paper JJ had sent him. I have been unable to identify which paper it was; by then JJ was having trouble in getting things published, and he tended to work in 'samizdat' mode, with duplicated copies. Carroll took exception to JJ's assertion that CIE workers were 'regular recipients of taxpayers' bounty'. He was however supportive of JJ's attempts to get the issues discussed.

62. 1. RJ-Oxford correspondence, see below. Also 2. RJ-Tuam correspondence re Bobby Burke; see also below. RJ retained.

Primarily Relating to the family, still Box 4.2

64. Letters from James; papers dealing with Alan's final years, cremation and scattering of the ashes at Killygarvan. RJ retained.

65. Extracts from the Dungannon Royal School records, re JJ and brothers. I include also in this folder a photo, some correspondence and a lock of hair relating to some lady with a Scottish connection who is not my mother. I seem to remember my mother remarking about some such connection which was prior to her own. JJ archive 6 in Box JJ4.2

66. Miscellaneous letters, family-related, but some with a political flavour, from the 1910s and 1920s period, sources mostly unidentified; includes a letter from Uncle Henry (Geddes) in Vancouver dated 1913, seeking a job back home, also my uncle Harry's (JJ's elder brother, the medical) commission in the RAMC; there is also an acknowledgement from the Provisional Government of JJ's letter of condolence on the death of Michael Collins, and a 1926 driving licence. There is also a begging letter to JJ from one James Stern, Balnagor, 1929, who had been schooled by John Johnston in Tullyarran, confirming the latter link. JJ archive 6 in Box JJ4.2

67. JJ's 1945 notebook 'History of the Johnstons'; this contains a partial family tree going back to 1748, and pointers to how it might be further researched. There is some insight into the MacLean connection, and a letter from a John Philip Johnston in Alabama. I have included in this folder some pedigree material found in a separate box-file, labelled 'family'. I have also included in this folder also my own correspondence with Gordon and Kaye Johnston, of Goff's Harbour, NSW, Australia; this includes a draft family tree going back to a Joseph Johnston circa 1720. In this it is suggested that a brother of my grandfather went to Australia, and that his family would be as close to ours as are the Achesons. There are however discrepancies, and I have not pursued it. The Johnstons are a somewhat numerous tribe in Tyrone; this must in my time remain unfinished business. RJ retained.

68. Folder 1 Contains a notebook of my mother's dating from circa 1908, and also her 1916 'Ladies Yearbook 1915' with her diary of her Australian trip; it also contains her brother Harry's 1915 recruiting paper, her 1911 teaching diploma, a lesson plan relating to Christchurch Cathedral, presumably a graduation test, and marriage certificates of her mother's parents and her maternal grandmother's parents (1825). Folder 2 contains my father's letters to her when separated on the world tour. There are also photos of my mother at her school circa 1913-4.

JJarchive 7, Box JJ4.2

Here is serendipity at work. I had no idea who Rutherford Mayne was, but it turns out he was one of the leading lights in the Belfast manifestation of the Irish theatre movement in the 1900s. So I have given some pointers to this, in a short essay in the political channel.

70. Envelope containing various dinner menus and seating plans. I have analysed these for insights into where JJ stood in the 'pecking order' inside and outside College, over the period 1920 to 1960. I have also filed here some press reports of speeches made by notables, including Dukes the 1917 Chief Secretary, and by Sir Horace Plunkett in 1920.

71. Envelope containing a selection of mostly family letters which JJ kept for one reason or another, mostly peripheral to this work. Among them is his last letter from Limerick hospital, before they operated (he succumbed to the effects of the anaesthetic); it is dated 19 August 1972; also letters re James's death in 1937; Cynthia from Africa in 1944 on war service, mentioning RJ at school (she must have been in touch). Germane to the present study are: (a) JJ's 22/07/1914 Masonic parchment, accrediting his membership (he had joined the Longford lodge to please my mother's father; he resigned after he had got married); (b) Oxford membership cards, including Craobh Ollscoile Oxford of Connradh na Gaedhilge, and the Lincoln College Fleming Society; (c) listing of items found on the bodies of 1916 casualties: JC Larkin, J Larkin, J Kelly, it is not clear how he got this, but he has pencilled a note 'found on casualties of Easter' on the paper, which is signed by one J Reynolds; (d) part of a letter seeking to find jobs for RIC men who had resigned; dated Septrember 1920, the lower part is chopped off.

72. Three sets of letters illustrating the scattering of TCD graduates globally; they were JJ's comtemporaries, with whom he kept in touch. There was one Sandy in Hereford, Frank Apperley in Virginia USA, and one Austin, who is seems was my sister's godfather, from the front in the first world war; he was killed. Also Jack Poynton who ended up in the University of South Carolina in 1925. Bessy(?) Apperley, Frank's wife, was my sister's godmother. The Poyntons were friends via my mother's mother 'Granny Wilson'; they were her neighbours in Ballymahon Co Longford; there was a brother Noel and a sister Kathleen.

73. Folder containing papers relating to the present writer RJ, including early school reports from 1935, letters from school to home during the 1940s, correspondence from France in the 1950s; there is also a copy of a critical letter I wrote to the Irish Times in 1966 relating to science and technology policy, in my then capacity as Secretary of the CSTI (Council for Science and Technology in Ireland). He had additionally included in this folder Adare's 1841 document proposing to the Primate a plan for an 'Irish Collegiate School', the foundation document of St Columba's College, the philosophy of which JJ clearly approved; it enshrined the ideas of the Gaelicising and aspirant Protestant nation-building landed gentry, of whom Claude Chevasse was a vestigial representative. My sister remembers Claude Chevasse as a visitor during her childhood.

74. Miscellaneous letters and cuttings, mostly non-political, curiosities, including some cuttings from Indian newspapers. Some could be letters from ex-students at the front in 1914-18. I have also filed here some stuff which turned up later: JJ's birth certificate, and his marriage certificate to my mother Timahoe Church, Queens County, July 21 1914. Also a vaccination certificate for my grandmother (Mary Geddes), Sept 17 1877, and a military pass for my other grnadmonther, Mrs CJ Wilson, to go to Broadstone in May 1916.

75. Scrap-book kept by my mother, mostly in the 1960s; this has some of JJ's and my letters to the paper, including one from me about the TCD-UCD merger, as from the Wolfe Tone Society. She added miscellaneous earlier material. This is loose in Box JJ4.2, being too big for the archive pocket.

JJarchive 8, Box JJ4.2

77. Letters of condolence etc re the death in 1929 of William's daughter Shiela, in Glengara Park School, where she was boarding with my sister Maureen, her parents William and Ruby being in India. RJ retained.

78. Letter re Eddie: Priorland 1931, from Bob Nesbitt 1931, and in mental hospital (1934), and letter from Tim (1967) re mother's 80th birthday. Letters from CJJ to JJ over period 1909 to 1914; photos of my mother when teaching at a national school at Ballivor, or perhaps Timahoe. RJ retained.

79. Letters from Annie in Budapest, where she was attending a World Student Christian Federation convention.

80. Letter from Sam when in Newcastle Sanitorium, dated 2 May 1919. Letters from Alec, including one in 1939 from military service, and one in 1969 detailing transitional retirement lodging arrangements for JJ. Notebook belonging to Sam's widow Elizabeth, with letters showing how she took up nursing, and some family photos. RJ retained.

81. Letters from JJ's brother Harry when on active service; he was torpedoed off Italy in May 1917, but survived. RJ retained.

82. Material relating to JJ's brother John, including Dungannon Royal School records, and letters to JJ, relating to the 'family fund' and Geddes. The 'family fund' existed, with contributions according to ability, to help take care of Sam's children, Tommy, Alec and Geddes, after Sam died.

83. Diaries of my grandmother, Jenny Wilson, 1939-48, (inserted April 2003). RJ retained.

84. Harpur letters (Ernest, Ballinclea); letters from 'Auntie Moodie' in Australia. Contains also details of JJ's final management of my mother's half-sister Kathleen Harpur's affairs. RJ retained.

85. Contains Alamein Memorial records, including photo of Geddes's name on the memorial stone; also correspondence from his O/C relating to the episode on January 22-23 1943 in which Geddes lost his life. RJ retained.

86. Letters from the Traill ranch, and other Argentine sources, relating to Geddes. RJ retained.

87. Voluminous correspondence from various members of the family relating to Geddes, who clearly was in process of becoming the 'black sheep' of the family. There is the makings of a thesis, book, play or saga in some appropriate medium, which however I must leave on one side. RJ retained.

My sister was very familiar with this period; from 1923 up to 1929 when she was 7 to 13 the 3 lads became part of the family; she was very fond of Geddes.

88. Geddes's letters and earlier works, including his poems in praise of Stillorgan and Tyrone. There is also a letter from JJ to him, echoing the 'prodigal son' epic in the Bible. RJ retained.

89. Correspondence re the purchase of the Glen near Drogheda, in May 1940, from Col Jury (of Jury's Hotel). There are indications from this correspondence that JJ mobilised extended family funding for the purpose, and conceived the project in terms of a strategic investment in the interest of the extended family, in the then wartime context. RJ retained.

90. Documents relating to the purchase in 1953 and sale in 1959 of Grattan Lodge, Vicarstown, Co Laois. This property was built in 1882 by the Grattan-Bellew family and they were there until 1947. RJ retained.

91. Account-books relating to farming and market-gardening operations at the Glen, 1940-41.

92. Account-books and inventories convering period 1920s to 1960s sporadically.

95. Letters re JJ's and my mother's deaths and funerals, and JJ's memorial service in the TCD Chapel. There is also correspondence relating to the ownership of the plot in Mount Jerome. File of correspondence re sale of JJ's books to various libraries etc. RJ retained.

I have set up a box X which contains supportive material for JJ's lectures and publications: I have not been able to sort it in detail; also legal documents to do with the sale of various houses JJ lived in, from McCracken's solicitors office.

(g) Miscellaneous other institutional sources

2. Folder containing notes and extracts from the SSISI and Barrington archives.

3. Photocopies of the 1917 Manchester Guardian articles which can credibly be attributed to JJ, and which I have abstracted in the political module.

The foregoing material is also in folders in Box 2LH.

4. correspondence between RJ and the Dungannon Heritage Center, which came up with John Johnston's marriage certificate, and the Castlecaulfield parish records courtesy of Adrian McLernon. Also Dungannon Royal School correspondence, and the Donaghmore schools record. I have filed this in folder 63, as under 'family' above.

5. Folder containing correspondence between RJ and Oxford sources relating to JJ (Bodleian Library etc) see 62.1 above.

6. Folder containing correspondence with Maurice Laheen in Tuam re RM Burke and his co-operative farm; also the JJ encounter in 1947 on the Barrington circuit; see 62.2 above.
