^Lot 253 1913. Pádraig Pearse signed cheque

Manuscript on printed cheque, framed with a portrait of Pearse.Drawn on The Royal Bank of Ireland to J. Landy, in the sum of eight shillings and ten pence, signed "Pádraic Mac Piarais", entirely in Pearse's hand. Signed "John Landy" on reverse. Interestingly Pearse kept his current account with a very Unionist banking institution while his loan account was with the Hibernian Bank (see lot 252), presumably to prevent the latter taking what small income he had as repayments.
