1 p88/32 Liam O'Brien J Ryan 750 Irish Prisoner Stafford etc June 1. 1916. Dear Liam I wonder how are you going
on over there. I suppose much the
same as ourselves. You get concess
ions often I suppose, and are
always hoping for the big
concession of being allowed home. I believe Harry Nichols is there
too invested in a red beard.
You must be as black as
the hob by this. I had
two letters from the widow
I am sure she wrote to you
too. I suppose you heard
all the news by this,
as you are probably getting 2 all the newspapers like ourselves.
You know of course that Kit
and Nell are in Mountjoy
They will be released soon
I think. Sean T. is still
in Richmond. There is hardly
anybody here from Dublin that
you know I think. But
we have great company in
Paddy Keogh, Pim, & Darl
Figgis, and T Treanor. I believe we are soon going
to be sent to Internment
Camps according to 16 'Times'.
Perhaps we'll meet there.
I hope so any way. Tell
Paddy Doyle to be cheerful. 3 We have now got great freedom here
and we won't feel the time passing.
I applied for release, as I only
tended the wounded; I don't know
what the result will be. Do you
ever hear a good story now? We
have not begun to tell them here
yet. I think there is rather
good material when we do begin.
Seán was in the best of form
up to the very last. Min and Phyllis
paid him a prolonged
visit on the last day. We
have a great crowd of Enniscorthy
fellows here. They
established it too I believe.
Fr Paul (Walsh M.C.) did a visit
the other day. He told us
a lot of news. I suppose
you have had visitors too. 4 I am sending this letter through
Paddy Doyle, who is a great skin.
Be sure you give Harry my love.
There is going to be no Feis in
Wexford I believe. How many
of the old crowd would be
free to go? Only Power I
think. If you have any
news let us have it , if
not you may say a prayer
for me. I shall send your
love to the widow when I
am writing to her. Agnes is
at home at present, as you
might expect. No more news now. I must
go to the Rosary. James Ryan.
