With an envelope addressed to Joseph Plunkett, Miss Quinn's Nursing Home, 27 Mountjoy Sq, City, and postmarked April 22, two days before the Easter Rising. The full text of the letter reads: "Just to wish you goodnight! Had to get a car home. Damn, darling, if you see me at al tomorrow let it be morning or afternoon. I forgot to tell you that. Do you want any help moving your poetry books and settling in generally? Deepest love, sweetheart (nasty as you are!). I'd simply love to be with you, but it's going to be impossible. Grace." At the bottom of the page there is a sketch of an unidentified animal or imaginary creature.

With a clipping from the April 12, 1966 edition of the News Letter (Belfast, Northern Ireland : 1962). Under the headline "Strange story of a lost letter," the article relates how the letter was found on the body of an unidentified man shot in the Easter Rising.
