Transcript
11 Grosvenor Place
Dear Mr Lawrence,
I am enclosing you some documents re my husband—it now transpires that he was shot (or rather murdered) without even a trial & alas his is no isolated case. You can have no conception of the reign of terror that prevails in Dublin & no press is allowed to publish facts. I believe that the Irish Party (or some of the leaders) are taking up my husband’s case & pressing for public inquiry. I want the fullest publicity so as to vindicate my husband’s principles and to expose the horror of militarism as shown in his death & that of others. {1} I send you the Freeman & the last copy of the Irish Man {2}. The other facts use as you think fit. I am very hampered by the fact that the military have taken most of the documents (address-books &c.) that would have helped me. But you & Mrs Lawrence will know my husband to have been a consistent pacifist & while friendly to all aspirations to freedom, an implacable foe of militarism. {3}
With many thanks for your kind words in my sorrow.
Yours sincerely
H. S. Skeffington
