This letter was presumably addressed to Augusta Caroline Dillon (née Crofton), Lady Clonbrock (1839-1928), a prominent member of the Irish Women's Association, founded to provide assistance and supplies to Irish prisoners of war. The writer is concerned that a particular P.O.W., who has been transferred to another camp, may no longer be getting parcels. Writer encloses the last two (post)cards she got from him. A note added to the letter (by Lady Clonbrock) reads "Returned 2 cards - I.W.A. say a Lady in England sends parcels regularly to him through them and Extras".
