Description

Holograph letter from Thomas Kirby, St. Joseph's House, Davos-Platz, Grisons, Switzerland, to (Hagan). Reporting on his steady progress, his permission to spend the summer in Ireland, and the necessity to return to Davos for some of the winter months to completely cure his tuberculosis. Humorous remarks on the fact that 'The English and Queen Alexandra Library' of Davos has a section on Irish history comprising merely Sergeant Sullivan's 'Old Ireland'. The Irish in Davos are mostly of the ilk that is glad to be counted as English by the inhabitants. The bishop is still willing to bear his expenses.
