Scope and content
Letter from Áine b. Ė. Ceannt, [wife of Ėamonn Ceannt], 44 Oakley Rd., Ranelagh, noting that ‘it is terrible to find that the rebels at Church St. are not only self-willed but so mightily independent’. She compliments Father Albert for saying the mass in Irish: ‘I felt how pleased poor Eamonn would be’. She gives news of the ailing condition of Muriel MacDonough’s ‘poor soon [who] has to go to a nursing home and lie on his back for months’. She also refers to the North Roscommon by-election and a well-received letter from Fr. Augustine Hayden which was printed in the Roscommon Herald
