Copy LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD, ( War Employments Branch ) DUBLIN 20th March,
1916. Dear Mr Pim, It is very good of you indeed to have taken
the trouble to write me so fully as to conditions and
prospects in Belfast. I hope the coal difficulty will not prove serious.
It is wonderful how difficulties can be overcome if
they are foreseen. With kind regards and many thanks,
Yours truly, War Employments Inspector. Cecil Pim, Esq Greenmount Factory
Harold's Cross, Dublin.

are foreseen,' implying that Pim will have to make do should the worst come pass regarding
