P.O. 2/— for

I called at I.W.F.L Rooms

Letter from Agnes Doyle to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1877-1946) regarding payment
for tickets.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.
