A Chara. Your letter of 27th October returning Form AR21 and forwarded to me from our registered office, only reached me on 1st instant as I was away from home for a few days.

I am sending the form on to the Auditor to-day so that he can make the necessary corrections.

I enclose you as requested a copy of the Auditors special report and I am phoning him to know if he wants the books with members register of names sent up to him. I am going to Dublin on 11th November (DV) and I could bring them up with me.

With reference to our having appointed the two Treasurers as Trustees I shall bring that to the Notice of our President and have the separate appointments made in future.

The deficiency of £25-9-1½ in General Funds at end of year and all expenses for present year will be eliminated by end of December 1943, at least I expect they will, as money has come in from subscriptions and from a balance in hand from the “Strike Committee Fund” which was completely separate fund, and was handed over this year to the National Executive of the Federation. I also enclose list of Committee of Management other than Officers of the Federation.

Mise le meas, Elizabeth F. Bobbett, General Secretary IFF. 9 enclosures.
