Dear Lady Clonbrock Thank you for your
letter — & promise of more,
if necessary — The 2 men I want to
send to London is to Lord
Roberts Winthrops & Leary
a trade — if they will go
Major Tuder Craig says he
will pay their fares on
So I will not have to 2 to trouble you for that. If you see any of the
people at Queen Marys
Hospital. I would be
very glad if you could
find out if the following
men were able to walk
well on their legs when
before they left there —
John Murray 3895 Connaught R
" Burke Irish Guards
" Griffin 4301 C Rangers
both L Thigh — never hopped out of
hospital till able to walk—
Griffin very troublesome —seldom sober —
walked well before leaving - but said he wd: never wear leg — but have it
over bed & put his umbrella on it
Weights if minus legs
Wylie 8st he can walk & is
working on farm
Griffin — 9st1 1/2oz does not wear it
Burke — 7st 2 1/2 oz Does not wear it
These are weights without the boot on—
Griffin says that Wylie has
use of his non stump than
he has , which makes him able
to walk better —
Griffin does not wish to be
sent back to Queen Marys.
I wonder if they behaved
alright while there—
Griffin has been steady
lately & if he could only learn 3 a trade & stay in England he
might do well — he was a
Protestant & trusted — his mother
lives in the widows House & is
fluid — but is an awful old woman
& I am sure nags a lots at
him — I hope you will all enjoy
your changes & be the better
for it - I am feeling much
better — With Kind regards
Yours very sincerely Emma Armstrong
