Tuesday, 25 April, 1916

A very quiet peaceful day here
but we hear (no newspapers published
or mails arriving) that the Sinn
Feiners are still in possession of
G.P.O, & Westland Row & are defying
the military. They say several
people have been killed & that the
G.P.O has changed hands a couple
of times.
A ship came into Kingstown with
some troops & there is also a cruiser
in the harbour & the approaches
are well guarded by the military.
We also hear there were Risings
in Cork, Limerick, Belfast &
Derry.
We do not know what will happen
out about the boys, it is very doubtful
if the mailboat will arrive & if it does
here, they are to get to Ashton.
Richie cannot travel with them
having to remain behind with tonsilitis
