Saturday, 29 April, 1916

Fighting still continuing as fierce
as ever in Dublin & fires were
seen during the night & one
could hear the big guns going
We hear great rumours of the
damage that is being done to the
city by the cannonade.
Ballsbridge Haddington Rd & North
umberland Rd seem to be the
hottest district. Boland Bakery
one of the Sinn Fein stronghold
has been taken by the military but
is much damaged.
All very quiet round about
Kingstown but still great movement
of troops.
This afternoon Uncle Tom rang up
& reported all well out there but
there had been very heavy fighting at
Parkgate St & North Side of town also
that there was trouble in the country
district. But he said he believed it
was over or he did not think he could
have got through as the telephones
can now only be used on military business
