With message from Roger Casement written on blank side requesting that his cousin Gertrude Bannister go and visit his sister Nina [Agnes Newman] in the United States and then on to Munich, Germany in order to “attest a true version of my going to Germany. [Henry Woodd] Nevinson & G.B.S. [George Bernard Shaw] may help editorially”. He goes on to request that his love is to be given to Wilfred [Scawen] Blunt and says at the end “I leave my soul with God – I pray for all – for forgiveness and pardon for myself and for others too – and I thank you [Methold Sidney Parry] from the bottom of my heart. All is well – it is near midnight and the dawn is St. Stephen’s Day – and I go the same road – altho’ a sinner – but still for an unselfish cause and give myself. Roddie”. Casement was prohibited from having paper to write on after the verdict of guilty had been pronounced at the end of June 1916 hence this letter being written on the blank side of Parry's letter.
