Dec 13 th 1915. DUNDRUM HOUSE DUNDRUM CO. DUBLIN.
TELEPHONE,
NO 12 'DUNDRUM' Dear Davidson I received your letter on
Saturday and was very
sorry to hear you had been
wounded; all the same it
might easily have been worse
and it is a mercy you are
where you are. I wrote to my brother the day
after you were here and I
have an answer. He said
he did not know you but
that he would make it his
2
business to find you out
and it is rather a pity you
were hit just now because
the colonel might have been
able to do something for
you. However you are
very fortunate to be in England
and I hope you will let me
know when you get to Dundrum. I had arranged to forward
a Christmas parcel to the
Front but your letter stopped
that, so I posted aforementioned to
the hospital today. Let me hear
how you get on. Yours truly Edward Murray.
A letter from Edward Murray (b. 1865), the proprietor of a chemical works in Dublin,
to Davidson. In this letter Murray expresses his sympathies over injuries sustained
by Davidson’s after being shot. Murray further informs Davidson that he had intended
to forward a Christmas parcel to the Front for Davidson but he will now direct it
to the hospital in England instead.
