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’.
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!’.
