Letter from Lady Henrietta MacDonnell to Lady Clonbrock, 28 October 1916

THE IRISH WOMEN'S ASOCIATION
(to aid Irish Regiments and Prisoners of War) I enclose some
memos of our
Xmas parcels
to P. of W.
for distribution
if you will be
so kind! Kensington Palace, London, W. October 26th 1916. Dear Lady Clonbrook, Strangely
enough, I was yesterday morning
dictating a letter for you when
I was interrupted by most
urgent business connected with
this next Scheme for the P. of W.
which the Govt. is starting.
During my absence, your
letter came — but I got back
here so late that I was
unable to answer your
letter — & when I got home,
I was too tired to do any
thing but go to bed. I was writing yesterday with
the intention of sending you 2 the single copy of what had been sent
to the 1 st C.G. in Mesopotamia. I didn't wait for the , as my
people disappointed me as to the date
of their arrival & substituted what
I consider the best thing we have for
cold & weary men — namely some quite
delicious 'Soup Rolls'. I know our men
in Flanders love that. It's called Pea
Soup & Bacon! & is warm and comforting,
though not as 'Christmassy' as sweets.
I hope you will think I did right.
I was so anxious to get our things off
by the 16th, that I didn't wait for the
sweets. The W.O. told me by Novr. 1st
but I know it is better to send off a
fortnight earlier, & I am thankful to say
our whole 37 bales or cases went off
on 16 th. We had some socks ready to send but your
Co. Galway contribution was so magnificent 3 that I have kept ours for
a little later. Indeed I
doubt if the P.O. at
Avonmouth would accept
any more packages for
me. Request over 18
Cwt. went off Dover transfers
last Monday! I wish I could see their joy
when that consignment
arrives! — In case you
would like to have it know &
not because I want the
money! I enclose a rough
memo of the cost the
freight to Avonmouth (our
new port for Mesopotamia)
I cannot yet tell, as the
weekly Cashier's bill is not
yet in, so please don't send 4 any money yet. This new W. O. scheme is going to give
us a great deal of extra work at first
— but I have no fear for the future.
I am confident we shall always get
the money we require. — The new W.O.
Committee is very friendly & very
complimentary to us — & I think the
extra trouble is well worth the
in going through, for there was a
hideous amount of overlapping, & a
woeful amount of carelessness or
ignorance on the part of many Committees
who should have known better.
Our expenses will be on record — but
as I have already said, I don't feel
any doubt as to our being able to
keep up to it for our friends are
very good to us. Forgive this badly written letter
Dear Lady Clonbrook — my hand is almost
as tired as I am myself. I am very sincerely, Henrietta MacDonnell 5 approximate

I hear, than 700 or 800 men. I sent 'broken' quantities of some things
(for instance, of plum pudding) on account
of the packing — I really didn't have
to add another package. That's why I didn't spend the £80 I
originally meant to spend — of course
we divide & pay for half cost of every
thing with you. I explained to the

A letter from Lady MacDonnell of the Irish Women's Association to Lady Clonbrock (1839-1928). The letter includes a list of Christmas 1916 parcel items that will be dispatched to the 1st and 2nd Batallions of the Connaught Rangers attached to the Mesopotamia Expeditionary Force by the Co. Galway Military and Naval Committee. MacDonnell laments that what she considered the best item, 'Soup Rolls,' which the men serving on the Western Front greatly appreciated, were substituted out. She hopes that Lady Clonbrock will approve of her amendments to the package.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.
