receipt of your letter of the 10th instant recommending

Letter from Andrew Philip Magill (1871-1941) to M.J. Murphy MP, 11 November 1916, with regard to Murphy's recommendations for appointments to the Commission of the Peace for the City of Waterford.Andrew Philip Magill had a varied career in the Irish civil service; he moved to the Ministry of Home Affairs in Northern Ireland before resigning prematurely in 1925. As private secretary to Augustine Birrell, the Chief Secretary whose resignation was prompted by the 1916 Rising, Magill was well placed to observe the often bizarre workings of the pre-revolutionary Irish administration. His subsequent postings in Dublin and Belfast likewise made him an invaluable witness of conflicts associated with revolution and partition.
