This is a letter to Eamonn O'Modhráin (Edward Moran) (1881-1954) from a friend, Gus. O'Modhráin had been arrested and imprisoned after the Easter Rising and spent time in Wakefield Prison and Frongach Internment Camp. This letter was sent while O'Modhráin was in Wakefield. The author refers to a conversation with a prisoner recently released from Wakefield, friends held in other prisons and friends and family at home, including O'Modhráin's brother Lewis, who had been released from Wakefield.

 41 Windsor Ave, Fairview, 13/6/16 My Dear Ned, I was very glad to hear that you continue well. The girls were in Ballysax on Sunday and I believe everything is going on well there. I was speaking to a chap named Macken who has lately returned from your 'college'. He gave me a good account of all the Rules and Regulations of your present abode. I am expecting to see you back here any day but in case you don't arrive before next week I intend going over to see you I will probably leave Dublin Monday or Tuesday night 19th or 20th Inst. In the meantime if you want anything particularly write home to Ballysax as I will be there on Sunday (D.V.) and I can bring whatever you require. It is pleasant to know that a good number of the restrictions placed on you at first have since been released. Ben Eoghan O'Brien is in Stafford and his brother Peadar is in Knutsford. Their mother died last week (RIP) and they never knew a word about it. We are all well here. Lewis is coming to himself again. Best wishes hoping to see you soon Yours Gus Eamonn O'Modhráin Letter from Clair Ní Modhráin to Eamonn O'Modhráin, 30 May 1916Letter from Treasa Ní Modhráin, Dublin, to her brother Eamonn, imprisoned in Frongoch, Wales, 19 May 1916Letter from Eamonn O'Modhrain to his mother, Mary Moran from Wakefield Prison, England, June 5, 1916Letter from Clair Ní Modhráin to her brother Eamonn in prison in England [May 30, 1916]Letter from Eamonn O'Modhrain to Mary Moran, 3 July 1916Letter from Eamonn O'Modhráin to his mother, Mary Moran, 3 July 1916Letter from Gus to Eamonn O'Modhráin, 13 June 1916Letter from Eamonn O'Modhráin to Máire Ní Modhráin, 12 July 1916 Gus Letter from Gus to Eamonn O'Modhráin, 13 June 1916 Wakefield Prison, England Letter from Clair Ní Modhráin to Eamonn O'Modhráin, 30 May 1916Letter from James Tyrrell to his wife Nora Tyrrell. 23 May 1916 from Wakefield prisonLetter from Eamonn O'Modhrain to his mother, Mary Moran from Wakefield Prison, England, June 5, 1916Postcard from Louis Moran to his brother EamonnLetter from Gus to Eamonn O'Modhráin, 13 June 1916 41 Windsor Avenue, Fairview, Dublin, Ireland Letter from Gus to Eamonn O'Modhráin, 13 June 1916
