This letter to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1877-1946) concerns a different number of arrangements including obtaining the correct address for various members, collecting prize and cash donations and dance tickets. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, suffragette, nationalist, language teacher, was the widow of Francis Sheehy-Skeffington (who was summarily executed on 26 April 1916). She was active during the Rising, bringing food to the Volunteers in the G.P.O. and the College of Surgeons. Four days passed before she found out what had happened to her husband, Francis (1878-1916), and it wasn't until almost two weeks later that the full details of his execution emerged.

 14 Rathmines Park 31st of March Dear Mrs Skeffington Can you let me have the present address of Mrs Martinson and of Mr J Wesley Berns. The ones in Membership Book are incorrect? (Sargent's is also incorrect) I did not see Mrs Quinn last week, but I wrote asking her for a prize or cash donation. She gave 2/6 today — it is in the Safe — it is better than nothing! I left a cake for Mrs. Tinsley and some more jumbles. I wrote to Mrs. Emerson re typing notes for Dance Tickets Please let me know when the Dance Tickets (ordered them last Saturday) are sent in. We have been obliged to postpone moving until next week as our landlady wrote at last moment to say repairs were not finished owing to bad weather. It means a little more breathing space anyway.
