Letters received by Siobhán McKenna, including letter from Treasa [O’Driscoll], Toronto, to Siobhán McKenna, hoping that Donn has assuaged her worries about Denis now that she has met him, telling her Bob and herself had been delighted with her visit and work, writing about Seán Ó Riada and enclosing one of the reviews of her show (2 Feb 1972). Also letter from Laurie Shields, Santa Barbara to Siobhán McKenna discussing the North, as well as Siobhán’s assessment of her audience’s perceived apathy to it. Ends by saying how good it was to see her again, and apologising to encroaching on her time after the performance, something Arthur – her husband – used consider “a mortal sin! (9 Feb 1972)”. Also letter from Mrs. Wilfred Steele, MP, House of Assembly, Adelaide, Southern Australia, to Siobhán McKenna inviting her to a luncheon to “meet some of our interesting South Australian women” (1 Mar 1972). Also letter from Joe Dockery, Streatham, London, to Denis O’Dea, giving him his news, commenting that if Siobhán would like to call into him on her way back from Australia she would be more than welcome, ends by telling him to
look after his health ([24 Mar 1972]). Also letter from Sister Mary-Lua, Star of the Sea Presentation Convent, Melbourne, to Siobhán McKenna, saying that she was sorry to have missed her call, and gives her news of the O’Reillys as well as her admiration of her Cass McGuire, reminding her of her Irishness despite of 40 years in Australia (27 Mar [1972]).
