“I went to the S.P.C.A. committee a.d. The new sec. O’Brien, is very plain, but I like him better than Robinson. Mrs Mortimor & Mr Brophy seem to have done a lot of good work between them. I made my suggestion about asking managers of national schools to instill some humanitarianism into the kids, but it was adjourned to next meeting…”
WEEK 83: (9th – 15th June 1919)
“After tea I went to a C. na mb. meeting & was overjoyed to find they had written to Át Cliat asking to be let off from the flag day because they thought it would inflame the Redmonites & cause violence & injure our chances at the next election, & anyhow only 6 were willing to sell. They seemed poor reasons to me, & unlikely, except the last, but I was just as glad. They had got no reply yet, so there was to be another meeting the next evening.”
WEEK 56: (21st – 26th October 1918)
“Charles Jacob came to tea & stayed till 10. He was very agreeable & talked a lot, though he spent most of the time reading Punch volumes. He talked about books & the coast between Tráit Mór & Bonmahon, & caves.”
