Âmbito e conteúdo
The subseries comprises five letters written by Charles M. Lynch (29 Antrobus Street, London), a former British Army soldier who was involved in the fighting during the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916. The original letters were apparently sent by Lynch to an acquaintance, likely a fellow soldier named ‘Willie’. The extant letters in the subseries are typescript copies which Lynch later sent to Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. with a view to potential publication in ‘The Capuchin Annual’. Includes a cover letter from Lynch to Father Moynihan dated 4 October 1947. Lynch’s 1916 letters were seemingly never published in the ‘Annual’.
