Letter from Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. to [Fr. Augustine Hayden OFM Cap.] referring to the poor state of the Santa Inés mission. He also expresses his satisfaction on hearing of news in Ireland. He writes ‘I get the "Irish World" and occasionally "Sinn Féin" and so I am kept in touch with Irish affairs – Frank Gallagher’s Prison Daily and other articles I devour even though they pierce my very soul and make me sob like a child’. Bibby asserts that he has said mass for Erskine Childers on his anniversary and will do ‘tomorrow for Rory, Liam, Dick & Joe’. He adds ‘I can never forget what was said, what certain Friars said when my dearest friend Erskine and Rory etc. were slain, oh how their bitter words tore my very soul asunder’.

Copy letter from Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. The typescript copy notes that the original ‘belongs to L.T. Langley, 164 Iveragh Road, Gaeltacht Park, Whitehall, Dublin. The letter is incomplete, and no indication is given of the person to whom it is addressed’. The letter provides an account of the ‘closing scenes of Sean Heuston’s life’. Fr. Albert contends that ‘shortly after Easter Week, 1916, I gave a rather full account for publication in the Catholic Bulletin, but owing to the Censor’s restrictions it could not appear in print’. The letter reads: ‘At about 3.45 A.M. a British soldier knocked at the door of the cell and told us time was up. We both walked out together down to the end of the Jail yard; here his hands were tied behind his back, a cloth tied over his eyes and a small piece of white paper, about 4 or 5 inches square, pinned to his coat over his heart’. Reference is also made to Fr. Augustine’s Hayden’s ministry to Ėamonn Ceannt and Michael Mallin.
