 P41/24/6 Main St.,Ballybofey, Saturday A Cara At Rose O’Donnell’s requestI am writing you this note — she is imprisonedthis last few weeks. It was I wrote theletter to your mother in her name as shedirected me to do the evg. she was arrested.I suppose you did not remark the differencein the handwriting as we write rather muchalike. Up until a week ago they were notallowed any communication with the outsideworld, though she managed to get a fewletters out to me on the sly. I got the last oneyou sent to her & managed to get it intoher alright. Then I did not know whetherto ans. it or not until I rec. a letter from her today asking me to write to you & tosay she would be very pleased to hearfrom you, they are only allowed to write &rec one letter per week & likely it wouldbe some time until you would get a reply. I am just after being toldthat the Lady prisoners are going to beremoved to Dublin but you can write tothe enclosed address & if they are removed earlythey will send it on. Or if you wish to ans.this letter. I will write again & let you know. Yrs sincerelyBrigid Mac Cearron (Rose’s chum)Carron Miss Rose O’DonnellMilitary BarracksBuncranaCo.
