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.

 290. Ed. Moran, Irish Prisoner of War South Camp, Frongoch, N. Wales. 3.VII.16 My Dearest Mother Your letter & Norman's came 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 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.
