Maurice Moore’s Letters from South Africa

In 1900 Maurice Moore wrote three letters to his brother George about war fighting in South Africa. George arranged with journalist W. T. Stead to have the first two published in London, one in a broadsheet and the other in a pamphlet. George placed the third letter in the Freeman’s Journal (Dublin).

Michael O’Shea of Dublin graciously identified these three uncollected publications in the National Library of Ireland. This page is dedicated with thanks to Michael and to helpful library staff:
