Letter from Clair Ní Modhráin to her brother Eamonn in prison in England [May 30, 1916]
1
30.5.16 My dear Eamonn, We posted today a parcel each for
you & Louie. Hope they will reach you
safely without delay. The letters take
at least a week to come from England. Louie mentioned he got a letter from
Maire, that seems to be the only
one that reached you. Although we
wrote almost every day. but I
suppose there are so many to be
delivered some of them get lost. We had another letter from
Maire today. She got your letter
on Friday. We were home on Sunday 2 and found all well. Mother is
managing wonderfully well.
Louie's letter was a great relief
to her. He mentioned you were
alright as regards clothes. You
must be a great toff in your old
hat. Una asked a chap who was going
over to see her brother, to see you
but he did not succeed. I must write a line to Louie
now. With warmest love,
Your loving sister Clair 3 Mr E Moran
