Letter from Caitlín Brugha, neé Kingston, to Edmund Downey, regarding the current political situation in Ireland and the release of IRA prisoners,
1923 December 17.
Writes of the release of prisoners: "The prospects are now looking very good for the prisoners, it is only a matter of time until Dev [Eamon De Valera] is back again. The general opinion is that the Free State is only also a matter of time & that [W.T.] Cosgrave & the rest are making hay while they can. They are all buying fine houses & I heard that one of them owns practically half Greystones. This of course may only be gossip but it's very often near the truth ... Sinn Féin at present working on a policy which will be practical & workable for the country, with the addition of Sean T. [Ó Ceallaigh] & the others we expect to make some headway now that the awful hunger strike is over & the prisoners coming out".
