Letter from Emily Maude Chenevix Trench (1874-1937) to Lady Clonbrock (1840-1928). Trench writes to thank Clonbrock for her letter and states that she has enclosed a post card from private Michael Sweeney, a soldier on the front, who the author was waiting to hear from. Trench goes on to state that she is unsure if Sweeney has received what she has sent him, however she notes that there is often a delay and that they are delivered several at a time. Trench also notes that she spoke with a Dublin Fusilier who is in Switzerland, noting that he claimed it was like being in another world. 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.
