Michael Collins Letter

"When this letter was written, Michael Collins was a T.D., Minister of Finance and the most important politician in the country. There was a general election on 16th June in that year.

(just like Teresa May at the conservative conference last week). Kitty Kiernan recommended that he attend Dr. Vincent Delany in Church Street, Longford. Dr. Delany had a small pharmacy at the back of the house, so he made up a bottle which could cure the sore throat.
