Letter from Lillie Connolly, née Reynolds, appealing for financial help

Lillie Connolly, widow of James Connolly, wrote to Fenian John Devoy on 27 August 1922, to see "if any fund exists in America upon which I would have a claim" as the money she receives from the National Aid Association is not enough to support her and her two young daughters. Lillie describes their flat at 26 Parliament Street as "not fit for human habitation".
