1 2 Loretto Villas Bray. 11th May, 1916 Sir, I should be very glad to have some information as to
Prison Regulations in Richmond Barracks. My husband, Mr Desmond FitzGerald, was brought before
the Provost Marshall in Kingstown today and is, I hear, to be take
to Richmond Barracks tomorrow to be tried before a Court Martial. I hope that it will be possible to inform me beforehand
of the place, day and time of his trial: I shall be glad to
to know if this is done. And can I or other relatives or friends visit him in
the Barracks? Please let me know the hours for doing so. It
is posible that his sister will come over from England at the
week-end specially to see him, I should be specially grateful for
precise information as to the hours at which he may be visited on
Saturday and Sunday as her time will be so short. I hope that you will give Mr. FitzGerlad facilities fr
for ordering his food from a Restaurant and for ordering daily
papers if these are per mitted, as owing to the distance, I shall be
unable to see to these matters for him, and that you will permit
him to write me if he wishes a change of clothing to be sent
him. If he is sentenced I presume that I will be permitted
to see him at least once after it before he is removed. I shall 2
be glad if in this case the distance at which I live is taken into
account and sufficient time given me to keep the appointment. Hoping that you will see your way to let me have the information
I desire, I remain,
Yours truly, The Governor Richmond Barracks Prison, Dublin.
