 From the Governor, H.M.Prison, Mountjoy, Dublin. 2nd. February, 1916 To Mrs.Mabel Fitzgerald, 2 Loretto Villas, Bray. With reference to your letter of 1st. instant, I have to inform you that you will be entitled to visit your husband on Saturday next, the 5th. inst., and that the period of the visit may extendto half an hour. Your husband states he would like to see Einar O'Duffy, or one of his friends. A baby in arms does not count as a visitor. If possible, it would be more convenient for the visit to take place in the forenoon, but if Saturday is an inconvenient day, I may mention that your husband states Monday would be an equally suitable day for him arriving .
