Dear Adams,

Your letter of the 5th has just reached me this morning, I am not likely to forget you and have often wondered what you were doing, there is no man I know of whom I would be more willing to help in any way in my power. I am writing to Capt. Ensor. urging your claims for consideration, and asking him if it would help if I saw some of the people at Headquarters in Belfast here.

I will write you again when I hear from Capt. Ensor.

Yours faithfully,

D. Graham Shillington

Dear Adams,

Enclosed is letter which I have received from Capt Ensor. I am sorry this is not more satisfactory, but I have written to him again urging him to try to do something for you as soon as ever it is possible. I have also told him that you are well known to Major Stalahan [?].

I may say that I called at the Headquarters here of the R.I.C. & they told me that with them all recruiting is stopped for the present. I hope something may soon turn up.

Yours sincerely

D. Graham Shillington
