Letter from Ursula Mahon to Lady Clonbrock, 18 July 1916
Sunday. My dear Daddi & Papapa. Many happy returns
of the day. We helped hay making
in the Orchard yesterday, we raked
it up to the cock. I got on top
of one of the cocks when it
was being bilt. It is pouring
with raining now. But I think
it will clear up for Church allright.
I am going to get a prize of 2/â
if I can get 100 marks by the
time we go to the sea. It is time to go to Church Love to all
from Ursula 2 The Lady Clonbrock 10 Cadogan Gdns. London. s.w.

Ursula also tells her grandparents abut her activities while she is out in the countryside.Ursula Mahon was the daughter of Edith Dillon and Sir George Mahon. Following her marriage to Arthur Marcus Lowther Crofton (1898-1962) in 1929 she became Ursula Crofton.

Galway and the daughter of Lord Crofton of Mote Park (Edward Henry Churchill Crofton, 3rd Baron), Co. Roscommon. Augusta was a skilled photographer and was responsible for creating much of the collection of 3,000 negatives and prints, now held by the National Photographic Archive of Ireland, which illustrates many aspects of life on the estate over a period of seventy years. She was also very active in promoting home industries at Clonbrock and in organizing voluntary work on behalf of local men serving with the British Army during the First World War, for which she was awarded an OBE in 1920.
