  Niall McAuley And from Library Towers catalogue, and other libraries in the States, Mrs Margaret E. Hickey wrote letters from New York, and specifically Brooklyn.

  Margaret signs off this letter to Joseph McGarrity as writing from
  2177 Bedford Avenue (is that Brooklyn?)
  and from
  Irish Progressive League
  229 Lex[ington] Ave[nue]
  
  That letter is from the digital library at Villanova University. Beautiful clear handwriting. Margaret was obviously well acquainted with Hanna Sheehy-Skeffington.
