1 Central Girls' Model School,
Marlboro' St., Dublin 17/3/23 P41/4/6/7 My dear Mrs Daly, I had the honour to know
your son, Charlie, in Donegal, so that though I am
a stranger to you, I take the liberty of writing to
sympathise with you in your great bereavement & to
congratulate you too on having such a son. He
was a magnificent specimen of Irish manhood
in every respect and won the love of all those who knew
him in Donegal. Indeed contact with him changed
South Dongal to Hibernianism to Republicanism.
I could not describe to you how much he was
loved and honoured by us all and the men in his
column almost worshipped him. Our hearts go
out to you in sincere sympathy on the loss of
such a son. May God & his holy Mother comfort
you in your great bereavement. Please God
his life sacrifice will not be in vain. 2 We are all praying that God may give
you strength to bear your cross. With love and sympathy. Yours very sincerely, Madge Rodgers.
