Krahford June 16 1916, A Cara a Mor, I must write and
thank you for paper which
I received, I trust you
are well and happy.
Also your mother and
Sisters and your dear
nephew give them my
Kind regards. All the here are
in the Pink the only
bother been unable to
have a walk around
2
the Beautiful Roads that
surrounds this place.
At lease we are informed
they are Beautiful but have
not had an opportunity of
judging for ourselves.
I am sure however that
they are not more Beautiful
than Kilmore, Dear Old
Kilmore, how pleasant it
was to have a day out
Artane way after the
stuffy City, I wish very
much I could have a
day out there now. However when I come
3
back I, must take a
whole long day on
that way. Your Friend June Kavanagh
has left here for Somewhere
in England! or Wales perhaps.
I had the pleasure of a
visit from my wife and
mother last week and I
found them both in excellent
form. I may be going
from here any time but
nothing is known at present
and of course I may not.

Should you write me however
I will receive your letter
here or elsewhere as all
letter etc are forwarded after
those that leave. We have had
visits from some teachers who
are in Manchester and indeed
they are most kind, like all
I suppose, they bring us all sorts
of nice things and it will be hard
luck having to leave them if
we are changed. With very best
wishes for your Health.
and trusting this will find you
Happy. Believe
Yours very sincerely
M W OReilly
Letters from Volunteer M W O’Reilly to an unidentified friend, written while imprisoned
in Knutsford, 1 and 16 June 1916. O'Reilly mentions June Kavanagh. Mentions he has
had a visit from his wife and brother so therefore his 'cara' is not one of them.
It mentions that he might be moved from that prison but he is unsure. Mentions that
teachers from Manchester visit them with 'all sorts of nice things'.
