Letter by T P Mulock, Kilnagarna, Athlone to 'Willie':

"My dear Willie,
The subject of the painting was born in 1746 and died 1827. I found the following sentence in a diary of his written towards the end of last century. 'ebrius fui apud Bellair, si deus dat beniaire revesus nunquana fuccare coufitebor'. He was fond of the social conviviality of that period, as appears from one of his topical effusions which I enclose; I said also a sample of his amorous verses to my grandmother who was Miss Francis Judge of Ballysheil. Ever yours, T P Mulock
PS I enclose cheque £10 my annual subscription to sustentation fund."

Includes two verses; "The Bottle" song by Thomas Mulock (Councillor) written 1793 and romantic verse entitled, 'Verse addressed to a young lady' by Thomas Mulock to Miss Frances Judge of Ballyshiel, whom he married 4 December 1790.

Verse from internee No 1065, Joseph Lee, Hut 26:

'I wished I was a little Duck
All swimming on a lake
And I beside you swimming too
A faithful little drake.'

Verse by Internee 1071, Hut 26, Rath, JohnJ. Horan:

'When the evening sun is setting
And your mind from care is free
When of Rath Camp you are thinking
Won't you sometimes think of me.'
