 Eamonn T. Dore 1704, The Internment Camp, Frongoch, Near Bala, Wales. Tuesday 19th Sept. 1916 My dear Jim, Received yours a few days ago and I must confess I envy the bl— fine time you are having. I hope who you know and all the boys are well. Doyle and Mul. I suppose are still enjoying themselves. Are they residents in the 'Coombe' still? Make it your business to meet Mcl.(Mulcahy) when you get this and tell him send on my two Cunninghams per return as I want to do a bit of work. Do not forget to give him my address and see that he sends them on immediately. If you could resurrect a 'Halliburton' send it on with them. Have you had an interview with Coffey yet? What kind of form is he in? I suppose Joe Murray will make another burst at the Autumn exams. Does he play Snooker at the Arcade still. Whenever you can find enough money i.e. without any private interviews with who you know send us on some grub. All the boys here are well. The weather is awfull. Any news that's worth having send it in your next. Try and have those books sent as soon as possible, and don't forget looking up a 'Halliburton' also 'Mahon's' notes if you can get them. I think Mul. has them. Remember me to all yours. Hoping you are in the pink. Yours, Eamonn. P.S. Tell all the boys I enquired for them if that will do them any good. Éamonn Murt will write in a few days. E Eamonn T Dore Letter from Eamonn T. Dore to James Ryan, 19 September 1916 James Ryan Letter from Cis M. Coyle to James Ryan, 26 May 1916Letter from Cis M.
