             Private. <!-- what to do with one word --> House of Commons   March 9th, 1916.    Dear General Friend,—   I am much obliged to you for your letter<lb/>of the 8th March about the Irish Volunteer Training Corps. I<lb/>am glad to find that you still are of my view that it is not<lb/>too late, even now, to extend the usefulness of the Volunteers<lb/>in Ireland for Home Defence purposes. Even as matters stand,<lb/>however, at present, there is no reason why the services of<lb/>the National Volunteers should not be utilised for Defence<lb/>Work, such as that done by the National Volunteers some<lb/>time ago in Cork. I feel quite sure that, if a request were<lb/>made to the National Volunteers to undertake work of that kind,<lb/>they would be only too glad to agree. I would be glad to have<lb/>your view on this matter at your convenience.   Very truly yours   J. E. Redmond.   Major—General Friend, C. B.  <!-- should this be address or para -->
