An election flier produced for Dr Patrick McCartan (1878-1963), the Sinn Féin candidate, during the South Armagh by-election which was held on 2 February 1918. The flier features a satirical illustration of Sir Edward Carson, the leading Irish Unionist, depicted as a stereotypical Irish peasant with a shillelagh under his arm, talking to a woman, most likely a representation of John Redmond, the leader of the Irish Parliamentary Party. The woman wears a hat adorned with ‘Home Rule’ and has a bag hanging from her waist which reads ‘Conscription Dowry’ superimposed over the pound (£) symbol. Underneath the image, the caption reads ‘Sir Edward Carson: “Frankly, I'm not all round your neck but everybody wants me to marry you for your Conscription Dowry”’. The illustration is credited to Wilton Williams.

Letters from Sinéad de Valera to Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap., asking for a ‘national novena to the Sacred Heart’. She declares that she has ‘had a letter from Dev this morning. They have had no Sunday mass since they left Ireland. He served Mass on Corpus Christi but that was the only day they had Mass’. She relays De Valera’ request that luxury items such as sweets should not be sent to republican prisoners and suggests that ‘some little committee could be formed to collect the money which would otherwise be expended on postage …’. She adds ‘Please don’t let Eamonn’s name be associated with it as I know he would not like his remark about the luxuries to go around. He has a dislike to being considered a vaitin and his remark might be misunderstood’. In the letter of 24 May 1918 she refers to her anxiety over ‘the midnight raid and Saturday’s paper’. She added: ‘Dev is in Gloucester prison. I had a message from the Governor saying to send on some clothes’.
