Hand-written letter from Maire Ni Mhaicin, Old Cumann na mBan, Emmet Street, Dublin, to the Department of the Taoiseach, 8 March 1943, requesting the return of a typewriter which was seized by the Government subsequent to her nephew's internment at the Curragh Camp. 'In a recent interview with Senator Margaret Kennedy on my behalf, the Minister stated I can apply to the Court for it. But I fail to see why I should be put to such unnecessary expense'.
