16, SANDYMOUNT AVENUE, DUBLIN. PHONE. BALLSBRIDGE 455. Dear Mrs Sheehy Skeffington
Will you kindly insert the
enclosed in the Irish Citizen
to correct an mistaken
idea in the minds of many
people. I am yours sincerely Clara Moser Nov 1st. 1915
Note from Clara Moser to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1877-1946) regarding a correction
to a recent print in the Irish Citizen.Clara Moser was the secretary of the Irishwomen's
Reform League, a non-party and non-militant suffrage organization, and the Dublin
Watch Committee. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, suffragette, nationalist, language teacher,
was the founder of the Irish Women's Franchise League and a founding member of the
Irish Women Workers Union. She 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.
