A letter from Kate English (b. 1855) to her son, Patrick (1894-1970). Kate writes of receiving his letter and how happy she was to get it. She mentions that Patrick's cousin, Mickie, is serving at the front and was surprised when he heard of the trouble. She writes him to let the officer in charge of him that he has six cousins who are fighting in France, and lists them.This letter is part of a correspondence shared between Kate and Patrick during his imprisonment in Stafford and later Frongoch.
The data in these XML files was generated based on a data dump from the Magellan database (https://github.com/Maynooth-Center-for-Digital-Humanities/Magellan). Each database record has been converted to a JSON file (https://github.com/letters1916static/letters-data/tree/main/json). The element section of the JSON file contains the TEI-encoded contents of the letters. The TEI XML has been cleaned and made well-formed using a Python script (https://github.com/letters1916static/letters-data/tree/main/src).
