Letter from Edith Mary Sanderson to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, 11 February 1916
return your tickets. personally I should
love to go but the day makes it
an impossibility. its the only home
day we have. I make it a rule
never to go any where on a Sunday.
We had a Committee today but
no one seemed inclined to buy
tickets for anything! Crowds of
people are buying tickets for all sorts
of entertainments but I find it
difficult to dispose of tickets annoyed
our members! I miss the Citizen terribly. Thursday
night is blank without it. & I seem to know 2 nothing of what is going on. Most kindest regards
Yours Sincerely, Edith Sanderson 3 back of envelope 4 Mrs. Sheehy Skeffington 11 Grosvenor Place Dublin
Letter from Edith Sanderson to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1877-1946). Sanderson writes to return tickets to an event on Sunday that she will not be able to attend. Sanderson discusses the sale of tickets in a committee she attended and writes that she misses the Citizen, a newspaper of the women's suffrage movement of which Skeffington was editor.Edith Sanderson was the secretary and treasurer of the Irish Women's Suffrage and Local Government Association, a non-militant, non-politically affiliated organization that focused on petitions and letters to the press. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, suffragette, nationalist, language teacher, was the widow of Francis Sheehy-Skeffington (who was summarily executed on 26 April 1916). She was active during the Rising, bringing food to the Volunteers in the G.P.O. and the College of Surgeons. Four days passed before she found out what had happened to her husband, Francis (1878-1916), and it wasn't until almost two weeks later that the full details of his execution emerged.
