Crescent View Limerick 16.2.16 The Grt. Southern notices
arrived today, & I am rather
unhappy about the dates.
We go up next Tuesday, & I
cannot be sure that I will
be in town befo longer
than the following Saturday,
or Monday 28th and you
want me to speak on a
Tuesday, don't you? I
couldn't do so, of course,
next Tuesday. I expect
to be up in April for the
J.S.F. Ex. Com. — if elected
one of the Munster delegates.
Would it be better to wait.

No I can't be certain about
the 29th? I hope to get home
before it, & won't know till
the 25 or 26th? Mrs Sheehy Skeffington 11 Grosvenor Place Rathmines Dublin
Postcard to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1877-1946) regarding plans that the sender is
making with Skeffington to speak on an upcoming Tuesday. The speaker is not sure when
they will be available due to travel arrangements. 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.
