             Dairie's <lb/>Drumcore <lb/>Enniskillen    21<hi rend="superscript">st</hi> March, 1916.   Dear M<hi rend="superscript">r</hi>Kerr   The gate you refer to in your letter of the <lb/>17<hi rend="superscript">th</hi> was put on without the knowledge or authority <lb/>of the late owners of Ballygonnill, M <hi rend="superscript">r</hi>T Elliot, and as <lb/>there never was a cart road through that field <lb/>I had the gate removed to where it now his <!-- should be 'it now is' --> <lb/>and will raise no objection if you put <lb/>it on where it now is for your own convenience <lb/>or that of your caretaker. I understand there is <lb/>a pass that way into your farm in<seg type="unclear">Rabion</seg>for <lb/>carrying turf and luggage of any kind, But if you <lb/>wish to put on a gate and cart that way, it will <lb/>be alright. I have an objection to the making <lb/>of a cart road through my meadow field where <lb/>I intend to plough as soon as possible.   When we get settled in Ballygonnill if you <lb/>run up we can have a look at the place <lb/>and a chat over it.   In the meantime <lb/>I remain <lb/>Yours Faithfully   Thos. Elliott
