& send you & Uncle Gerald
our love & best congratulations
on your golden wedding — I hope you will like the
cup that has been chosen
& will be able to find 2 some use for it. — I think we shall stay
here till the beginning
of next week, Violets leg
is going on well, she has
quite got rid of the soreness,
but her ankle still aches
if she walks at all which
is a great worry. I do hope
the treatment will be of
some use this time of course
wearing a bandage is a
great help. — We have got a maid at
last, she has been 14 years
in England& a long time
in each of her places so
I hope she will be all right
& not run away! — We have had three days 3 without rain but quite
cold. They seem worse off
in Scotland Irene writes
that it has rained for a
week without stopping. — Much love from us both
& every kind of good wish. Your affec ate Nelly 4 The

The letter was sent by a niece (Nelly) to congratulate Augusta Lady Clonbrock and her husband, Luke Gerald Dillon, 4th Baron Clonbrock, on their golden wedding anniversary. 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.
