We're gonna outdo ourselves this Wednesday, 6th March, 2024, as we're putting together a 27-part post in which letters and telegrams will feature in some of them - communications between a Mr Michael Collins and a Mr Winston Churchill in relation to a part of Ireland abandoned by one but not the other, and correspondence between two 'Prime Ministers of the Empire' in relation to the grubby issue of finance and 'policing' in the occupied area - talk about begging letters and the need to keep sending them...!
We also came across, in one of our 1920's vaults, details of letters/telegrams between the IRA and the Leinster House Free State administration in which the Republicans didn't hold back, and included a deadline in their script, and a letter sent from one IRA leader to another, querying as to what was going on in one particular area of the country.
And we have way more than that - as stated, it's a 27-part post, so - hopefully - you'll find something of interest in it for yerself!
So don't forget 1169 on the 6th for 27...!
Thanks for the visit, and for reading : see ya on Wednesday, 6th March 2024!
Sharon and the team.
