             <lb/>  Mc Nallys<lb/>Main St<lb/>Ballybofey    Dear Mrs Daly      It is hard to have to<lb/>address you on such a sad sad occasion<lb/>as this. And I am sure you will wonder<lb/>why I did write sooner but I really could<lb/>not settle <sic>my self</sic> atall. I never believed<lb/>they would execute them <seg type="del">atall</seg> but one must<lb/>be prepared for the worst and hope for the<lb/>best nowadays. I cannot <sic>realize</sic> that<lb/>C is really gone but all we can do now<lb/>is pray for him and all the other poor<lb/>fellows. He sent me out these papers of<lb/>their trial for to send on to you. He said<lb/>he would like to have them to look at when<lb/>he would be free again but alas he will never 
            <pb n="2" facs="L1916_5376_img_4661_2"/>
             <lb/>Look at them now. "God's will be done" and&gt;lb/&gt; now Mrs Daly as I am<seg type="del">so</seg>, so sorry, I cannot <lb/> explain my grief. in fact all the people <lb/> around here are in an awful state about it <lb/> I will conclude <seg type="del">wishing</seg> hoping you will not <lb/>worry yourself too much. Please accept my <lb/> deepest <sic>emypathy.</sic>    I remain your sincerely <lb/>Rose ODonnell
