Clair writes about letters sent to and received by the family and notes that their mother is 'managing wonderfully well'. She also writes that a 'chap' going over to visit his brother had tried to visit Eamonn but did not succeed.Eamonn Modhráin (1881-1954) had been arrested after the Easter Rising and imprisoned, spending time in Wakefield Prison and Frongach Internment Camp.

 30.5.16 My dear Eamonn, We posted today a parcel each for you & Louie. Hope they will reach you safely without delay. The letters take at least a week to come from England Louie mentioned he got a letter from Maire, that seems to be the only one that reached you, although we wrote almost every day but I suppose there are so many to be delivered some of them get lost. We had another letter from Maire to day. She got your letter on Friday. We were home on Sunday and found all well. Mother is managing wonderfully well. Louie's letter was a great relief to her. He mentioned you were alright as regards clothes. You must be a great toff in your old hat. Una asked a chap who was going over to see his brother to see you, but he did not succeed. I must write a line to Louie now.
