Personal code telegram from Joseph P. Walshe to Robert Brennan (Washington)
(No. 19)
DUBLIN, 27 January 1944
Your 31.1 Impossible for two raw and ignorant youths to have received such a mission.2 Incapable of exercising influence on anybody. Obvious purpose was to get home by fooling Germans that they could get information and send it on their portable sets. Both arrested within few hours of landing. Both American and British Governments know that Ireland is not a centre for any kind of German activities. You should talk to State Department to prevent new campaign for which this may be signal.
