The letter is from Mary McEvoy, a servant on the Drumbaragh Estate in County Meath, to Agnes Sweetman, wife of politician John Sweetman (1844-1936), owner of the estate. It informs Agnes that her children, Honoria and Alicia, are well and that Christine received her letter. John Sweetman was then interned in England after the Easter Rising but was eventually released at the end of May.
