Oxford, 22nd September 1916
Dear Mr O'Brien,
I shall be in
London early next week, and
I will call on you then: I have
arranged to see a friend on
business, and he has to decide
whether we meet on Tuesday or
Wednesday. I would call on
you at about half past two; I
hope this hour would not be
inconvenient for you. With kind regards from
my wife and daughter, and
myself, Yours sincerely,
G. Mount Plunkett
Letter from George Noble Plunkett arranging to meet Mr O'Brien on the former's forthcoming
trip to London
Count Plunkett was a nationalist and a papal count. He had been sworn in to the IRB
by his son, Joseph Mary Plunkett (1887-1916), before the Rising and arrested afterwards.
Count Plunkett was elected as an MP in 1918 and was a member of the first Dáil.
In the wake of the 1916 Rising, Arthur Patrick O'Brien founded the Irish National
Relief Fund in London to
provide assistance to the families of Irish rebels.
