1910 (June 26) Letter from Padraig Pearse
A one page handwritten letter on Scoil Eanna, Rathmines letterhead to Mr Dixon, Pearse’s solicitor discussing
proposed building works at the ‘Hermitage’. Pearse asks, “Can you push the thing on now for all it is worth?”,
and later, “Please push things on.” The letter conveys a sense of the pressure Pearse was under to open the
new school at Rathfarnham. Signed P.H. Pearse.
