Letter from Eamonn O'Modhrain to Mary Moran, 3 July 1916
Sat. and Maire's yesterday. I was very glad to
get them and to learn that all are well, let you
all write often. We have Mass, confession & Holy
Comm. every Sunday. Don't send papers, 'Ind' comes
every day now, send some books, Irish & English.
As weather is wet I will want a coat & vest, rough
tweed, good clothes no use here, they will want to be
larger than last measurement, also putties like
knickers and a portmanteau, not too big, suit case 2 would do. I hope visiting time will be extended before
Tess & Una come and that Maire can arrange to
come also. Glad to know all well in Enniscorthy
Would you ask Maire to spend some of her holidays
with you. Better buy cake now for delivery in
Nov., Cotton or Linseed, whichever better so far,
2½ or 3 tons. I charged Casey 30/= for ten acres,
his own stuff. Let Lewie charge current prices
for materials. We are not having a bad time here
lectures, concerts, Irish classes, football, physical
drill, &c had a march into country today. With
best love to all, particularly the children Eamonn. 3 Mrs. Moran Rose Villa Ballysax The Curragh Co. Kildare Ire. 4 290, Edward Moran Irish Prisoner of War South Camp, Frongoch
Letter from Eamonn O'Modhráin (1881-1954) to his mother, Mary Moran, requesting items to be sent to him in Frongoch and reassuring her that he is getting on alright. According to Eamonn the prisoners are able to attend mass and confessions and are being entertained by lectures, concerts, football and physical drills among other activities. Eamonn O'Modhráin was a member of the Irish Volunteers and took part in the Easter Rising alongside his brother Louis. He was arrested and incarcerated in both Wakefield and Frongoch prison. After his release Eamonn would go on to command the 6th Battalion of the Carlow Brigade during the Irish War of Independence.
