1 2nd sept 1916 31. VIII. ’16 Miss. M. Cox,
(Hon. Secretary Irish Volunteer Prisoners Aid Society),
252, Lower Broughton Road, Manchester. Dear Miss. Cox, Further to previous correspondence for the in-
formation of your Committee I enclose copy of a letter
which we have just sent to Mr. Henry Dixon at Frongoch.
I think we are now on the road to being able to deal with
the requirements of the Camp in a systematic manner.
Our Committee is rather of the opinion that the best
way to attain this end is for each outside Committee
to make itself responsible for some one particular re-
quirement. You will see that the Cork Committee have
made themselves responsible for the tobacco supply. We
are willing, as you will see by the enclosed letter, to
make ourselves responsible for part, or if necessary for
the whole of the remainder. There are the questions of
clothing, periodicals and books, some few luxuries such
as fruit etc., about which we hope to hear more both
from Mr. Dixon and the Censor shortly, when I will
communicate with you again. In the meantime would
you please place the matter before your Committee and
let me know if they agree with our suggestions, or if
they would propose any modification. In one of your letters you informed me of what your
Committee had sent to the Camp and I am afraid that in
replying the rush of the work at the time caused me to
overlook the courtesy of your reciprocating, for which
I hope you will excuse me. Up to the present we have
expended £ 146 on the prisoners, of this amount £ 53,
has gone to Frongoch (£40 in cash, the balance in supplies
the remainder having been expended on Wandsworth, Woking,
Lewes, Stafford & Wakefield, and Knutsford. Yours truly,
