1944 Elizabeth Bobbett: Letter to the Registrar of Friendly Societies, 23.08.1944

Dear Sir. I enclose you the Annual Return Form for the Irish Farmers’ Federation which I only received back from the Auditors to-day, although it should have been completed long ago and I had asked the Auditor to post it immediately he was finished with it.

I also enclose the covering letter from Mr T. M. O’Donovan ACA. I explained to Mr. O’Donovan that owing to the extra work imposed on the farmers with the compulsory tillage, lack of transport and lack of light to do any secretarial work during the winter, it was not possible for the various Branch Secretaries to send up a register of their members names and addresses for 1943. I had brought up all the registers I had for 1942 to Mr Gillic last year.

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