Description

Letter from Maud Gonne MacBride, Roebuck House, Clonskea [Clonskeagh], Co. Dublin, to Éamon Donnelly, about Donnelly's imprisonment. Dated 29 August 1938. After acknowledging receipt of Donnelly's letter, the author writes: "Sojourn in H.M. [His Majesty] of Englands jails is rarely conducive to health. I do hope you will soon be feeling stronger. […] I want news of all the 30 prisoners in Crumlin Rd particularly of my friend Jim Killeen. I believe a big united effort could get their release. […] Your arrest, though horrid for yourself, did a lot of good but was not half used as it should have been […]."
