Card to Anna Fahy, 17 Norfolk Road, Phibsborough, Dublin, from Richard Francis Hayes giving an account of his and Frank Fahy’s imprisonment in Reading Jail. He writes ‘We are doing fairly well here – thanks especially to Frank who has been everything to us. I have only one complaint against him and I tell you because you will sympathise with me. He is next cell to me and has a frightful habit of making dreadful noise in his cell in the dark mornings between 6 & 7. He insists on persuading me he is singing & is training his voice!’.

Postcard to Frank Fahy, ‘Q.2/34 / Irish prisoner of war, Lewes Prison’. The card is signed ‘Ui Dálaigh’. It appears that Fahy’s correspondent was a prisoner himself. The image-side has a portrait print of Edward Daly, the executed 1916 Rising leader. A manuscript annotation underneath the portrait reads ‘Patrick’s Day / 1917 / Q.121’. The card reads ‘Dear Frank / Just a reminder that our thoughts are with you this Patrick’s Day and every day until the sun shines for us all again’.

An aerial view of Carlow Town in about 1945. Prominent buildings in the image include (in the foreground) the Cathedral of the Assumption. Work on this Gothic-Revival style building commenced in 1828 and it was completed in 1833. The cathedral’s 151 feet (46 metre) spire is a conspicuous landmark in the town. Adjacent to the cathedral is St. Patrick’s College, a former seminary for the diocese of Kildare and Leighlin, and now a liberal arts and humanities college for lay students. The English-born architect Thomas Alfred Cobden (1794-1842) was responsible for the design of the college’s south wing (1817-1819) and north wing (1821-1835) and later the adjoining cathedral. Near the River Barrow adjoining Wellington Bridge (better known as Graiguecullen Bridge) are the ruins of Carlow Castle.
