1941 Elizabeth Bobbett: Letter to the Summer Time Committee, 09.05.1941

Dear Sir. Your letter of the 6th instant received, and as we have a meeting in Dublin on the 22nd instant I wonder if it would be convenient for your Committee to receive our witnesses on that date instead of the 21st instant as you must understand it is difficult for farmers to be away from their places two days in succession, at this time of the year. If however this is not convenient our witnesses will attend on the 21st but would not be able to arrive until about 12.30 pm. Our witnesses are: Mr. John Murphy, Red Cow, Dundalk, and Mr. Stephen Rynne, Downings House, Prosperous, County Kildare.
