A note from Commandant Thomas Hunter to Commandant Éamon de Valera during the 1916 Rising. The pencilled note reads ‘Headquarters staff want to know why you require ten men’. It also suggests that an ‘attack was not to begin until 11.15pm’. The message concludes by asking de Valera to ‘report immediately to Commandant [Thomas] Hunter’. The note provides a time of 10.15pm.
