Scope and content
A collection of original notes sent to Éamon de Valera and Patrick Pearse during the 1916 Rising. At least two of the notes appear to have been written by Commandant Thomas Cornelius Hunter (1883-1932) who served as an adjutant in the 2nd Battalion of the Irish Volunteers during the Rising. The notes appear to relate to orders emanating from and given to the Jacob’s factory garrison during the insurrection. Reference is also made in the notes to another senior Volunteer, Adjunct Thomas Slater. The notes were extant with a cover letter from Tomás S. Cuffe to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. apparently referring to his retrieval of 1916 material (4 December 1947).
