Bereik en inhoud
A note sent to Commandant Éamon de Valera during the 1916 Rising. The pencilled message refers to communication being established with an outpost. The note provides a time of 11.30pm. An indecipherable signature of a captain is attached. It adds that ‘They are protected by the River Tolka’. An endorsement (in ink) at the top of the page affirms ‘shortly after I got a message that all was well / outposts have begun to mean anything’.
