Stafford Tuesday. 1.8.16. Dear Mr. Ryan, Thanks for your
letter. I must congratulate you
on your return to Ireland.
I saw from the papers a good
many had been releasesd
but I was rather surprised
to hear you were out. You must
be very glad to be back once more. 2 Fr. Moore had a letter from
Mr. O'Connell at the weekend about
the photos - he was in the other day
and he remarked how strange
it was he had not mentioned you
or Mr. Collins. So he was very
pleased when I told him about you. Mrs Figgis is at present in
London. She is a splendid
correspondent and keeps us well
informed of all her doings. She
certainly must have an affinity for
railway officials, sergeants etc. as
she is now having fresh encounters
with them in London - when she
goes to see the boys arriving &
departing. Her husband is having
a good time at Reading - feather
beds & bunches of roses! She did 3 did not say who gave the latter.
She went down to Lewes one day & would
find out the requirements of the ladies
there but was not allowed to see
them. I am going to Ireland but
only for rather a short stay. As
far as I know at present it will
be somewhere about the 20th of
August, I will stay in Dublin
or near there so I hope you will
be still up as I am not going
anywhere in the vicinity of
Wexford. Dont thank me for anything
I did. We tried to do all we could
for those who came over visiting
etc. It was the only way
we could show sympathy & it 4 was so little. Besides it was
a pleasure to us as Stafford is
rather a quiet place as perhaps
you gathered from what you
saw of it. Good bye now - hoping you are
having a thoroughly good
time now to make up for what
you have missed. I remain,
Yours very sincerely Kathleen Teebay.
