Letters to Molly - John Millington Synge to Maire O’Neill, 1906–1909

When John Millington Synge and Molly Allgood fell in love, he was thirty-five, she nineteen. Neither knew that he had Hodgkin's disease and would die in three years. Seldom able to be alone together, they wrote letters almost daily. Synge's letters-hers do not survive-are a poignant record of a love that was foredoomed.

Seldom able to be alone together, they wrote letters almost daily. Synge’s letters—hers do not survive—are a poignant record of a love that was foredoomed.
