all right and we are sending you the
£1 as requested. We have heard since
through some source or other that you
have a cold. We hope it isn't bad.
Be sure and mind it well for
goodness sake. We'd be very nervous
if we thought you were ill. Phyllis went home for a week
from yesterday. She was feeling a bit
tired and wanted a holiday badly.
Nancy went this morning to Brownes
Bridgetown for a visit and we are
not too sorry after her. Maureen
is now gone to the Lynds for a visit.
I am sure you will be glad of that!
Kit is here coughing and slaving away
at the papers. I am up to help
her and Hayes is awfully good to
help us. It is great we have
him. I am going home on Satur
day and then I must go see Canon
Fortune about being called out.
The date is changed again to the 16th
This time it is fixed anyway.
Phyllis is the bridesmaid & has bought
the dress for it and all! I hope
you will get this safely. Perhaps I
mustn't write more. Mind your
cold very very well. Love from all Jim
Letter from an unknown 'Jim' to James Ryan (1891-1970) during his imprisonment. Jim writes that the £1 requested by Ryan in a letter to Maureen would be sent. He goes on to relate what appears to be family news, including a forthcoming marriage (possible that of Ryan's sister Chris).James Ryan studied medicine in UCD. He was appointed chief medical officer in the GPO during the Easter Rising. After the Rising he was imprisoned in Stafford and, later, Frongoch and was released in August 1916. Ryan was later a founder member of Fianna Fáil and a government minister.
