Title Letter from Jimmy Cleary while interned during the Civil War to his sister Kathleen
Description Letter from Jimmy Cleary while interned during the Civil War to his sister Kathleen, undated (Thursday), 1922. Thanks his sister for her parcels, "we may be shifted from here any day now the crowd is getting big..." "The soldiers are kicking a bit and court-martialled today for refusing to fight. There was a row in the cook house last night among themselves, it spread to the hut. They broke windows, cheered for de Valera and damned the Free State. The Staters that done this you know. We are all in the pink."
