A letter from Maud Gonne MacBride to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. enclosing £5 for the Monteith fund from a supporter of Clann na Poblachta. MacBride also refers to Roger Casement describing him as ‘such a great man, he took care of the men he enlisted in his Brigade. They were kept in a separate camp … and he [Casement] stipulated they were not to be used for anything but work to free their own country’. She also refers to her hopes that Casement’s body will be repatriated to Ireland for burial. She writes ‘Ireland who wanted the body of Yeats to be buried, as he wished on the slopes of Ben Bulben, will someday perhaps think Casement’s wish should have been respected’.
