| Summary: | William Gogan was arrested in January 1920 for the display of a Republican ballad in one of the family's shops. He was not aware of the offending item, which was displayed by an employee, but at all events he was sentenced to three month's imprisonment in Mountjoy Jail, with a further three unless he undertook to keep the peace, under the D.O.R.A. (Defence of the Realm Act). Manuscript letters exchanged between William Gogan and his family during two terms of imprisonment in Mountjoy Jail (a few in 1919, the bulk in 1920), each with censor's marks, a few with censor's deletions. The first term he served in Mountjoy Jail was from January to February 1919 (for reasons unspecified), the second term for the display of a Republican ballad in one of his shops. Most of the letters are from his son Dick (Richard) Gogan (who seems to have taken charge of the family business) to his father, with some also from Dick's wife Kitty and others. There are a few letters from William Gogan to various members of his family, including a few scribbled on the back of cigarette packs. |
