Limerick 10.12.15 no, of course I don't
mind a bit if you divide
the paper. If so do your
best for me as regards
number of copies you
send of both — I forget
how many stamps I
sent you. Yes, please,
I'd like to have proof.
I did put in about the
suffrage — before the
remedies. Is it clear? H. Morony
Letter from Helen Morony to Hanna Sheehy Skeffington regarding the Irish Citizen newspaper.
Skeffington is sending Morony a number of copies of different editions of the paper
and Morony clarifies that she did mention suffrage before writing about remedies.
Helen Morony (1986-1946) was an active suffragist, poor law guardian and member of
the Irish Citizen Army (ICA). By the time of her death she was known as Helen Lloyd
following her marriage to E. L. Lloyd, a former member of Limerick County Council.
Hanna Sheehy Skeffington (1877-1946), 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.
