Reproduced in manuscript form in the In Memory of O’Donovan Rossa, Fenian funeral souvenir published in 1915.
My husband (O’Donovan Rossa) was as he said of himself in the dock an Irishman since he was born and I can testify that during his last long illness he was the same unconquerable Irishman breathing the same unalterable desire for the absolute freedom of his country and its utter separation from England that he breathed in the dock.
Mary J. O’Donovan Rossa.
July 22nd, 1915.
