 77 Harcourt st.Dublin. P41/23/12 My dear Susan — I address you by your Christian namebecause I feel as if I already know you, from allI have heard of you. I intended writing to youevery day asking you to call but as your cousinMary Maloney told Jen you were thinking of doingso yourself I did not write. However in view of what happened this weekI cannot possibly delay in writing you a fewlines to express to you my sympathy in yourGreat sorrow. The news of Charlie’s death (RIP) hasstunned us all. Only on Saturday last I hada letter from him and indeed I did not thinkit was to be his last one. As a matter of fact Iwrote to Kerry specially for some shamrocks tosend him on St. Patricks day but instead of that Ifind that we are praying for his soul on that day.Well! May the Holy Will of God be done in allthings. He is our only hope and consolationnow and the only One from whom we may expectJustice. Charlie has died a soldier’s death and hasremained true to the Cause when so many have failed You have good reason to be proud of your bravebrother and you need not grieve over his deathbecause he died true to the Flag and faithful tothe last. May God reward him for it. Only for him and his Comrades poor Irelandwould indeed have to bow down her head inshame and sorrow on account of the slavish attitudeof her children towards the old enemy. They havegiven their life’s blood to blot and the stain thatnow lies on our country’s name. I feel confidentthat their sacrifice will soon bear fruit. Alreadythe people are beginning to realize that they aregoing into the Empire and not getting a Republicthrough this so—called Free—State. Of course it is only natural that you will misshim — I know what I should feel like myself ifanything happened my brother. But God will give youstrength and courage to bear this trial. I will never forget poor Charlie in my prayersand I am writing to my brother who is a priestin U.S.A. and I will get him to say Masses forhim and his four comrades who were executed by the traitors. All her join me in sending you our deepest and sincerest sympathy in your bereavement. Jen and I are dying to meet you. I would go out to Carysfort but I do not know what day I could see you. Could you arrange to come into town any day and we would meet you anywhere. 3 you like or perhaps you would call here directly.It is two houses above the Standard Hotel. We have only a flat yet but we are lookingeverywhere for a house. We shall be more thandelighted to meet you. My father Tomaswell. In fact he stayed in Kenmare with him. Are you going home for Easter? If not I hopewe will often meet during the holidays. This will be a terrible blow for your Motherbut God will sustain her and reward her forgiving such a hero to Ireland.
