Title
Handwritten draft and typed letter from Brendan Duddy to Martin McGuinness
Description
Original handwritten draft and typescript letter from [Brendan Duddy] to 'a chara' [Martin McGuinness]. Acknowledging that the republican movement is in their right not to give in to pressure on decommissioning, quoting from Good Friday Agreement (par.20), but arguing strongly for taking a higher moral ground than the prevaricating other side, to allow for implementation of the new police force and a complete demilitarisation and arms-free society. Impassioned plea against weapons. (The handwritten draft is in the hand of Éamonn Downey who adds the title 'Decomm. and time' - the draft is very close to the typed version; typescript copy has markings highlighting passages, made by Brendan Duddy. )
