“To whom it may concern,” the letter begins…

“as a mark of gratitude to the staff at Ballyfermot library, I am donating my most valuable possession to your safekeeping — the ill-fated Ballyfermot Lighthouse.

I can only hope this is the beginning of a brighter chapter in its history. Please accept my profound apologies for any unintended events that this gift may bring.

Warmest wishes,

Miss Eithne F_____”
