LAURENCE GINNELL.

A good framed ALS to My dear Alice, from Mountjoy Prison, 11th June 1919, 2 pp, mainly concerning domestic arrangements, clothes, books he wants etc. Mr. OC wants permission from the ladies to publish another edition of Brehon Laws .. all I ask is to be allowed to correct the proofs, signed Labhras.

Laurence Ginnell [1854-1923] was an Irish Party MP (ironically known as The Member for Ireland) who joined Sinn Fein after the Rising, and became its Treasurer. An opponent of the Treaty, he entered the Dail in 1922 at De Valeras request to hold a watching brief, but was ejected after challenging its credentials. He published several books including a history of the Brehon Laws.

 

Provenance: Collection of M.W. OReilly, see his biography above.
