Scope and content
A letter from James Mallon, ‘The Frongoch Hairdressing Saloon’, 30 Eden Quay, Dublin, to Mollie Baxter, The Capuchin Annual Office, Church Street, Dublin, congratulating the committee on their ‘magnificent work’ in assisting Captain Robert Monteith. Mallon also decries what he characterizes as the shameful treatment of Monteith who survives on a measly state pension. He writes ‘I don’t think you or your committee know how he has been treated by our patriotic country. He is in receipt of the large amount of £46 a year under the 1934 [Military Services Pension] Act. It is a disgrace, had he been captured by John Bull during Easter Week, he would be today either lying on top of or alongside of Roger Casement in Wormwood Prison in London’. He concludes ‘It seems Ireland never had any use for live heroes, they are always dead ones’.
