Letters donated by Whelan's granddaughter.Bailiúcháin litreacha ó James Whelan chuig a bhean Annie. Is sa ngéibheann a scríobhadh na litreacha seo. Is i mBeairic Richmond a scríobhadh cuid díobh, i mBeairic Stafford, agus sa gCampa Géibhinn i Frongoch. Tá cur síos iontu ar shaol an phríosúin.Bhí comhlacht foilsitheoireachta ag James Whelan i mBaile Átha Cliath, agus bhíodh sé ag díol tobac. Ní raibh páirt aige san Éirí Amach féin i 1916, ach gabhadh é agus cuireadh sa ngéibheann é de bharr an t-ábhar a d'fhoilsigh sé ar son Phádraig Mhic Phiarais.
