1923 (18 November) Kilmainham Jail Civil War
hunger strike letter
An interesting single page unsigned manuscript letter
dated Sunday morning 18 November 1923 and written
by an IRA hunger striker. Contents include reference to
Cardinal Logue’s letter to his diocese and the opinions
of hunger strikers if at anytime we should receive a rea-
sonable offer for the safety of our lives and those of our
comrades, we will not throw it back in their faces. It is
not to humiliate our political or national opponents that
we are on hunger strike... we don’t want to parade our
corpses or those of our comrades for a political show, all
we demand is freedom and we stand or fall by that.””
Good, some light fold and crease marks. Also some light
staining which does not affect the text.
