Collector searching for Collins letters to purchase

Five years ago I had my lifetime’s collection of militaria stolen by a ruthless gang who broke in using sledge hammers and smashed all my doors.

Of course it broke my heart after collecting for 50 years.

However, I started collecting again but only in a small way, as my stolen collection was not insured.

I wish to make an appeal to anyone who may know of, or have a Michael Collins letter for sale. I would like to try and purchase it.! My late father served under him in 1922.
