Scope and content
A letter from Charles Lynch, 29 Antrobus Street, London, to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. confirming the receipt of an edition of ‘The Capuchin Annual’ and referring to the copy letters he recently sent to the friar regarding his experiences during the 1916 Rising. Lynch asks whether his letters will be published in the ‘Annual’. He writes ‘The main reason I sent it was because I read various histories of that event and all differed substantially from the truth, and I thought as a matter of history, the truth so far as I saw it should be known to all’.
