PÁDRAIC MAC PIARAIS & TOMÁS MAC DONNCHADHA

A paid cheque made out to Tomás Mac Donnchadha [Thomas MacDonagh] for £6-2-6d., dated 26 [April 1909], drawn on the school A/C at Hibernian Bank, signed at front, countersigned at rear by MacDonagh, a fine bold signature in Irish. Part torn away at right losing revenue stamp, most of issue date and part of Pearse's signature.

* Pearse and MacDonagh were colleagues at St. Enda's, and joint signatories of the 1916 Proclamation. Pearse was in the GPO during the Rising, as President of the Irish Republic; MacDonagh was in command at Jacob's Factory. They were court-martialled and shot on 3 May. Presumably this cheque relates to MacDonagh's school salary.
