This is a letter from John Mitchell Moubray (b. 1856) to Robert Chalmers (1858-1938) under-secretary for Ireland. Chalmers became under-secretary for a brief period following the resignation of Matthew Nathan (1862-1939), who relinquished his position following his political failure during the 1916 Easter Rising. The letter is an application by Moubray to acquire a permit for the travel of one of his Irish workers. In the enclosed letter he states that John Campbell, the Irish worker, and a boy. He goes on to state he requires them at once.
