A permit to 'pass out of town' for two Misses Fentons (probably sisters) issued by the Irish Republican Army on Sunday 30 April 1916. The pass was written on the back of a Times Braces advertisement. The pass was likely issued on the orders of Seamus Doyle, a lieutenant in the Enniscorthy battalion of the Irish Volunteers and one of the men active in Enniscorthy during the Easter Rising, one of the few places outside Dublin to see any military action.
The data in these XML files was generated based on a data dump from the Magellan database (https://github.com/Maynooth-Center-for-Digital-Humanities/Magellan). Each database record has been converted to a JSON file (https://github.com/letters1916static/letters-data/tree/main/json). The element section of the JSON file contains the TEI-encoded contents of the letters. The TEI XML has been cleaned and made well-formed using a Python script (https://github.com/letters1916static/letters-data/tree/main/src).
