[ Note added by Michael Purcell 2013 - up to the late 1960s the nurses attached to Carlow Dispensary district were known as Jubilee Nurses, one red haired Jubilee nurse lived in an apartment in Pembroke, she dealt in our shop, obtaining goods on credit we always charged the items to the Red Jubilee Nurse, we never knew her name !. ] Carlow Sentinel. July 1901. Having held a meeting in the Town Hall in April 1901 Katherine Bunbury sent the following letter, signing herself K.A.Rathdonnell to the editor of the Carlow Sentinel.. Lisnavagh, Rathvilly, County Carlow. July 31st 1901. Sir -- I should be very much obliged if you could find space in your columns to make it known to those who have kindly taken collection cards for the Women's Memorial to Queen Victoria, that I should be grateful if they would return the cards and the money collected to me, or to Miss O'Meara, on or before Saturday August 24 ; also if intending subscribers would forward their contributions. I enclose a list of the principal subscriptions which I have received up to the present date, and would like to remind your readers that all the money collected will go to the "Jubilee" Fund for providing Trained Nurses for the Sick Poor in their own houses. Ireland has been most generously treated in the matter by the Central London Committee, having in the year 1900, received considerably more than double the sum to which her own contribution in the two Jubilee years would have entitled her. Yours faithfully, K. A. Rathdonnell.
