A letter sent by Máire Ní Catháin (b. 1875) to Mabel FitzGerald (1884-1957). Máire sympathizes with Mrs FitzGerald on her husband's imprisonment but, as she writes, at least he is alive, unlike The O'Rahilly. Mabel was the wife of Desmond FitzGerald (1888-1947), an Irish Volunteer who served in the GPO garrison during the Easter Rising. He was subsequently arrested, court-martialled and sentenced to 20 years penal servitude, later commuted to 10 years. Michael Joseph O'Rahilly, self-described as 'The' O'Rahilly (1875-1916) was shot in Parnell/Moore Street on 28 April 1916 and died some time later. Both Fitzgerald and O'Rahilly had tried to prevent the Rising but joined in once it started.
