The postcard is from a Roman Catholic priest in Stafford, England, to a sister of James Ryan who was imprisoned there. It informs her that James will be transferred to Frongoch Detention Camp in Wales. James Ryan (1891-1970) 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.
