Letter from Josephine Murray to Lady Clonbrock (1840-1928). Murray provides a copy of a balance sheet she claims was taken from the March meeting. She then goes on to account for cheques which have been paid. Murray writes that if another balance sheet was requested, it would not match as the cheques have only just been paid. 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. Aged 75 at the outbreak of war, Lady Clonbrock, worked closely with the Irish Women's Association to send basic necessities to Irish POWs. Many of her care packages went to members of the Connaught Rangers imprisoned in Limburg near Cologne.

 Eglinton House Galway May 22 1916. Dear Lady Clonbrock, I am enclosing you the rough copy of Balance Sheet showing cash taken at March meeting which you wish to be added to 1915 account. I have also deducted cheques voted at that meeting A. £25 for Wounded Soldiers Home in Tipperary which was cashed April 3rd. B Cheque for £225.10.0 to the I.W.A. posted May 18th. If a second Balance Sheet is now made out it will not agree with Bank balance of that date owing to the cheque being paid only now. I am getting Col Phamier to look over all the accounts etc.. which I have balanced with the Bank Book up to date. I hope we will have a good meeting. Yours sincerely Josephine Murray.
