Messrs Kenning &amp; Son should therefore apply to <lb/>the Head Quarters, Irish Command, Park Gate, Dublin, <lb/>stating the number of swords and names of consignees, <lb/>when enquiries will be made, and if the Military <lb/>Authorities are satisfied as to the good character <lb/>and loyalty of the consignees, Permits will be issued.  <seg type="closer"> I am, <lb/>Sir, <lb/>Your obedient Servant  ,   E.
