James Ryan (1891-1970) studied medicine in UCD. He was appointed chief medical officer in the GPO during the Easter Rising. After the Rising he was imprisoned in Stafford and, later, Frongoch and was released in August 1916. Ryan was later a founder member of Fianna Fáil and a government minister. This letter was written while Ryan was a prisoner in Stafford. The writer notes that she had heard Ryan was released but that he is still in Stafford, refers to friends and fellow internees and asks if he would anything sent to him.
