This is a letter from Elizabeth Francis Neill (b. 1861) to Augusta Caroline Dillon, Lady Clonbrock (1840-1928). Clonbrock was a prominent member of the Irish Women's Association, founded to provide aid and assistance to Irish soldiers and prisoners of war and the wife of Luke Gerald Dillon, 4th Baron Clonbrock. In the letter, Neill thanks Clonbrock for her sympathy over the death of her husband, Richard Herbert Neill (1859-1916). The letter goes on to say that Neill will pass on what Clonbrock has said about the election of a new secretary, stating that the ladies of the tea room will be glad that the position is filled by Charles Joseph Botterill (1862-1959).

 Feb 21 st 1916 Dear Lady Clonbrock I thank you very much for your kind expressions of regret for my dear husband & sympathy with us in our great loss. It seems to grow greater with time. I shall pass on what you say about the election of Secretary for Tea Room — the Ladies of the Committee will doubtless be very glad to have the post filled by Mrs Batterill — who will I think always take a deep interest in the Temperance cause here. I remain your Ladyship's Most sincerely Elizabeth F Neill 1916 Feb: M rs Neill Headfood Tea rooms Elizabeth Francis Neill Letter from Elizabeth Francis Neill to Lady Clonbrock, 21 February 1916 Augusta Caroline Dillon Letter from Alfred Gerald Crofton to Lady Clonbrock, 13 December 1915Letter from Alfred Gerald Crofton to Lady Clonbrock, 1 October 1916Letter from Private M.
