Dear Sir. In reply to your letter of 3rd October (425 T. Dublin) regarding the Annual Returns 1941.

I submitted your letter to the meeting of our National Executive on 7th instant and as already we have asked the various counties to meet this deficit by a special levy I was instructed to forward the County Secretaries a copy of your letter.

I expect that the matter will be satisfactorily settled before the end of the year. The past twelve months have been a very difficult time for farmers as they have to wait so long for the results of their harvest, and be out of pocket all the time for seeds wages etc. that they keep putting off their subscriptions till late in the year.

Yours faithfully, Elizabeth F. Bobbett, General Secretary IFF.
