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.

 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?
