This is a letter from Dr. Kathleen Lynn (1874-1955) to a 'Miss Carney', whose identity cannot be definitively ascertained. In this letter, Lynn instructs Carney to send out a card on her behalf to a number of her friends and political compatriots with the following text: 'I have been deported to Bath. Very sorry not to be able to see you before I went.' The note contains a list of the card's intended recipients, along with their addresses.Dr Kathleen Lynn was a medical practitioner, a suffragist, a nationalist, and a revolutionary. Lynn was Chief Medical Officer of the Irish Citizen Army during Easter 1916, and was a part of the City Hall garrison, of which she took command of the garrison after the death of Seán Connolly on the first day of the Rising. After independence, Lynn played a major role in improving public health, and played a significant role in the eradication of tuberculosis in Ireland.
