Part of The Kate O'Brien Papers

Handwritten draft of letter from Mary O’Neill to Lorna Reynolds, commending her on her publication, referring to a review of book in Irish Times and to photographs of Kate O’Brien in the archive. She states the following about the book, ‘I am delighted with your book & admire it so much I keep dipping in to it again… You are so very good at bringing back the memory of Kate & her idiosyncraces.’ On the subject of the archive she says ‘…I don’t think the first photo of K with short hair was taken before 1921 or 2. I am almost certain she cut her hair after teaching us in 1921. I would say from the pinched look on her face it could have been taken during her marriage.’
