A letter from John J Thompson (1872-1924), Registrar Royal Hospital for Incurables to Augusta Caroline Dillon, Lady Clonbrock (1840-1928), 13 November 1915. Thompson firstly acknowledges receipt of a letter from Lady Clonbrock the month previous. He is writing to Lady Clonbrock to thank her, on behave of the committee, for her rebuttal of information in relation to the Clonbrock Co-operative society. He expresses the committees interest in maintaining the traditionally good relationship with the Co-operative and indicates that the Hospital had granted the Co-operative society a bonus of 15% on eggs which was found inadequate and thus it was increased to 35%, which he hopes Lady Clonbrock will approve of.Augusta Caroline Dillon (née Crofton) was the wife of Luke Gerald Dillon (1834 - 1917), the 4th Baron of Clonbrock, Co. Galway and the daughter of Lord Crofton of Mote Park (Edward Henry Churchill Crofton, 3rd Baron), Co. Roscommon. Augusta was a skilled photographer and was responsible for creating much of the collection of 3,000 negatives and prints, now held by the National Photographic Archive of Ireland, which illustrates many aspects of life on the estate over a period of seventy years. She was also very active in promoting home industries at Clonbrock and in organizing voluntary work on behalf of local men serving with the British Army during the First World War, for which she was awarded an OBE in 1920.
