[ William Joseph Walsh, Archbishop of Dublin. ] Autograph Letter Signed ('William J Walsh | Archbishop of Dublin') to A. Harris, giving his view on contemporary education, while commending an article by Harris in the 'Contemporary Review'.

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. Aged and lightly-stained, wih a few closed tears repaired with archival tape. Addressed to 'A. Harris Esqr. | The Shelbourne Hotel | Dublin.' He thanks him for sending his article, which he had already read 'in the Contemporary with great interest'. He has 'spoken to several persons of influence in connection with our existing educational systems, recommending them to read it carefully. If we could only induce our public men to deal with our education question as a question of education, and not as a question of politics, the solution of many difficult problems would not be as far off as it seems to some now to be.' He concludes by inviting him to visit him while in Dublin, as he would be 'very glad to hear something more from you on this subject of such practical importance to us all'.
