The letter is from Reginald Brabazon, 12th Earl of Meath (1841-1929), to Luke Gerald Dillon, 4th Baron Clonbrock. Meath thanks Clonbrock for his donation of £10 to the Irish Police & Constabulary Recognition Fund. The Irish Police & Constabulary Recognition Fund was founded by Meath to recognise the work of the police during the Easter Rising. It presented certificates, war bonds and awards to policemen who were in active service in the Royal Irish Constabulary or Dublin Metropolitan Police during the Rising and compensation to the widows and dependants of those killed or injured.
