Scope and content
Letter from Seán T. O’Kelly, Reading Internment Camp, to Fr. Aloysius Travers OFM Cap., conveying his thanks to Fr. Aloysius, Fr. Augustine and Fr. Albert ‘during “the week” itself and afterwards during those anxious and trying days of our imprisonment in Richmond [barracks]’. Refers to the conditions of other republican prisoners elsewhere: ‘… I only wish the boys in Frongoch were with us. It must be awful for them living under such conditions this harsh weather. The men in Dartmoor, Portland, etc. will I presume be much better off now that they are to be removed to Lewes where it is said too they are to be permitted to associate and to be given facilities for reading and writing’. Some reference is also made to the expulsion of republicans from Dublin Corporation and to the release of Brian na Banba (Brian O’Higgins).
