Two Autograph Letters Signed to Sylvia Lynd, poet and novelist.

2 ALsS, on letterhead of Cahirmoyle, Ardagh, County Limerick; 25 Feb. [1917?]; from Cahirmoyle; 24 March [1918], in envelope, total 4p., 4to.First: 'I am starting a League of Protest, a League to boost Nice Useless Things (I have a sort of suspicion I come under that head myself) and when everyone else is planting the cabbage where last year the wallflower flourished I am making two new gardens! [...] I've had great sorrow since I saw you, a brother I loved very much went to France, was a week in the trenches and then killed. It all seems so stupid and useless. Can you see any sense in the thing? | It's a horrible time. All these new arrests make one nervy. Parnell is gone again! I'm out of touch with everything here and know no more than the average person. What I have seen lately is a statement by Eoin MacNeill's brother telling the history of the 4 days before Easter Monday. It completely exonerates MacNeill I think from the S. F. point of view.' Second: 'I was in London in October and again in December. The first time I rang up 14 Downshire Hill and was answered by a most disagreeable female who told me you were away and gave me clearly to understand that I was an impertinent and ignorant fellow to think you were there: again in December I rang up this time the result was silence.'
