Card to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington, 30 March 1916
I thinks yours is a brilliant
idea. I too was afraid to go
in by my lone too. I will bring my small
folding table down on
Sat night. I am to
get in free this time you
know I am going up
tomorrow afternoon to
inspect my new abode.
I'll call in on the chance
that you might come
for a run. Em No word I suppose from the
Dublin Guide 2 Mrs. Sheehy Skeffington, M.A.
11, Grosvenor Place,
Rathmines
Card to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1877-1946) promising to drop in a small folding table on Saturday and to call in the following afternoon. Hanna Sheehy Skeffington suffragette, nationalist, language teacher, was the founder of the Irish Women’s Franchise League and a founding member of the Irish Women Workers’ Union. She 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.
