Mentions that his daughter Brighid's throat is very bad and queries if she should take her to hospital but worries that it is overcrowded already with those who were wounded during the Civil War: "Shall I take her to Cussen to have her tonsils done, although the Mercy hospital is overcrowded with wounded at present".
