Subject: Single page from the diary of Michael Healy, stained glass artist and founder of An Túr Gloine. Entry begins with Healy writing about how he could not get a pass to leave the neighbourhood so he had to stay in all day. He also describes how ‘Kinsella’ called with a message from the shop about the Clongowes window, and how they (commissioners) want a photograph of the window for their annual. Healy writes that this is obviously impossible as the window is not finished and he suggests to Kinsella that they should wait to add it in next years annual instead. Healy goes on to say that he explained in a note to A.E Child that he could not get out without a pass and this is why his work is being held up. Healy recounts how Kinsella was anxious to leave as he was afraid that he might not be let home if he stayed too long. Healy finishes the entry commenting that no one had called in the evening.
People of Note: Thomas Kinsella, A.E. Child.
