She sent letters to Kathleen VAUGHAN née CASEMENT in Oct 1966 and May 1967 from Park Prevett Hospital, Basingstoke, Hampshire (Hants.) Letters are in an envelope labelled "Aunt Kate Casement's last two letters" She wrote that she was hoping that Dr MacKay's son would continue his father's campaign to have Roger Casement's paper returned to Ireland.
Hugh Casement writes that “One of her paintings, entitled (I think) A Queensland Bushranger, was exhibited in Cape Town: it may well have been a portrait of Tom. Between the wars she worked in Beirut and later Dubrovnik, which is still known as the jewel of the Adriatic. I don't know when it was that she submitted a painting to an exhibition at the Royal Academy in London.”334
