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. Eamon Dore was a member of the Irish Volunteers and served as a bodyguard to Sean MacDiarmada. one of the leaders of the Rising. He was subsequently imprisoned in Frongach internment camp. In the letter Dore asks Ryan, who had already been released from Frongach, about family and friends at home and also refers to some of his fellow prisoners.
