Letter from Arthur Shields, Knutsford, C/O Chief Postal Censor, London, addressed to 'Everybody' (His immediate family). The letter was written from the internment camp in Knutsford, Kent where Shields had been interned after the 1916 rising. Shields writes that 'Things here have changed a great deal. In my last note I wrote an extract from our rules and you can imagine what sort of time we had but now that is all changed. We can talk, read, smoke, receive newspapers and parcels.' Shields also describes a visit from Alfie Byrne who had been elected M.P. in a By-Election in 1915 and later became Lord Mayor of Dublin. Shields also enquires as to the well being of his family, including his father's employment, 'Papa, I was worried as to what you were doing. I saw, the day we left Dublin, that there was a good deal of damage done to the "Freeman" office, I hoped that it wasn't properly destroyed.'
