44 Oakley Rd. Ranelagh 9/5/17 yesterday. I felt how pleased poor Camonn would be. We never I believe made any announcement without first speaking his own language. Lily & I called round last evening to Mrs McDonagh epoor Don has to go to a nursing home & lie on his back for months. Two of the vertebrae as also the roots of the lungs are affected & he is to be placed at once in Dr Crofton's hands. He is to go to a home in Leeson St. but the Doctor says there would be no fear of infection for little Barbara. you must storm Heaven for Dear Father albert. I did not acknowledge your letter as I thought you might have come to Mt Argus this morning. It is terrible to find that the rehels at Churchst. are not only self-willed but so mighty independent. I saw Mrs Henston yesterday and I certainly did not compliment her on her diplomacy. It was so nice of you to announce the mass in Irish Letter of Mrs Henston William J. Sanoy Camonn September 8, May 1916 Allmanham him. There will be mass in Mt Argus on Friday for the men in Lewes. Mrs Rearse sent me a paper "Roscommon Sterald" in which I see a letter written by Dr. Augustine was received with cheers. It gives a lot of our speeches including a few words by Miss O'Hanrahan. all here are very well and anxiously awaiting news from Longford. Best wishes from all yours sincerely June 6. C. Camonn
