<lb/>MEMORANDUM FROM
<lb/>THOMAS O'RIELLY.
<lb/>POULTRY, GAME, BUTTER, EGGS, &amp;c. &amp;c.

<lb/>To <hi rend="underline">The Under Secretary. Dublin Castle</hi>.
<lb/> Dublin.

<lb/>Sir,
I have this day been notified by the R.I.C.
<lb/>to stop buying wool until further notice.
What I desire to draw your attention to is this, that I have
<lb/>advanced <hi rend="underline">money to several farmers</hi> in this locality, and
<lb/>supplied them with wool bags, for this seasons dip.
Now this order places me in a very awkward position, as
<lb/>buying wool has to a certain extent been my occupation.
<lb/>I hope you will give this matter your immediate consideration.
<lb/>If you require any references, I can refer you to <hi rend="underline">Mr. Sydney Smith</hi>
<lb/>one of <del>your</del>the Inspectors. <add>of Department of Agriculture</add>
<salute>Yours etc.</salute>
<lb/><hi rend="underline">Thomas O'Reilly</hi>

<note>Refer him to the Army 
<lb/>Contracts Dept. London
<date>22/6/16</date></note>
